The pretzel/rolo thingies? Here's the recipe: Bag of mini or tiny pretzels (salted) 2 bags of Rolo chocolate candy 1lb. bag of pecan halves 1. Toast pecans at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes 2. After you remove pecans, turn oven temp down to 250 degrees. 3. Place a sheet of aluminum foil on a cookie sheet, and line up pretzels in rows onto the foil. 4. Place a Rolo onto each pretzel (place the Rolo upside down…smallest round side should be resting on the pretzel). 5. Place in 250 degree oven for 5 minutes only (any longer and the chocolate will not set properly). 6. Immediately after removing from oven, press a toasted pecan halve into the Rolo. Ensure that you press it down so that the chocolate covers the pretzel. Place in refrigerator for 30 minutes to set. Hope you enjoy! Amanda – I almost forgot. The pretzel/rolo thingies?

And your cookies look delish. I know I'm way up here in Illinois all covered in ice and snow and you probably can't see me very clearly, but I am holding out an empty plate for you so that you may be allowed to share your cookies with me in the spirit of giving. I like to do nice things for people like that. That's just how I roll, I guess you could say. <em>angie's last blog post..</em><a href='http://waywarddietgoddess.blogspot.com/2008/12/good-new-and-not-so-good-news.html' rel="nofollow">Good news and not-so-good news...</a> I agree with your rant.

Girl, your rant made me think you've been reading my mind. You are so right. The cookies are great! My cookies totally bombed this year, so I'm going with store-bought. And I made some candied nuts, which worked out pretty well. But I'm curious about those pretzel-rolo-pecan things.

And, Ms. T-Nut looks like "Little Miss Suzy Homemaker". She looks like a fun-loving Mom with those girls, and looks like a Mom that everyone would want to be around. I know she is a great Mom. (And, you are, too) Enjoy the "yummy" cookies. Wish I was there, too. You know how much I always liked your home-made cookies. SEE YOU SOON AT CHRISTMAS ---- LOVE & HUGS Dear Lulu,
