I first made these Pumpkin Spice Kiss Cookies, and they were deee-lish!
I still had half a bag or so of Kisses in the pantry, and they were begging me to eat them. [You may recall I have zero willpower, and sweets, in particular, almost literally seem to call me.]
Hmmm...what goes with pumpkin spice deliciousness??? Pecans, of course! And my idea of Pumpkin Spice Turtles was born from there.
For the past few holidays, I've been making Pretzel Turtles, a Rolo melted on top of a pretzel, topped with a pecan half...but instead of Rolos, I used Pumpkin Spice Kisses. Viola! The perfect fall combination, a taste and texture delight!
So easy...SO delicious...and the girlies even helped me!
Count out Kisses and unwrap them. (A great fine-motor activity, by the way!) |
Place Kisses on pretzels -- I like the little square ones. |
Place assembled pretzel-Kisses on a cookie sheet. |
Bake at 275 degrees for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, until Kisses are very soft, but not runny.
While the Kisses are in the oven, count out your pecans...find the pretty ones! |
Here are my melty Kisses. |
Top each with a pecan half, pressing down slightly. (I did this, as I still don't trust the girls near a hot pan.) |
I will say that these turtles never completely set up like the Rolo turtles do. The only impact that has, I think, is that I wouldn't stack these in a gift basket, but rather serve them on a single-layer plate.
ENJOY!!!

great idea! I may have to try this with our left over kisses (the girls loved unwrapping them so much so I'm sure they'd be into another treat!). Thanks for sharing!
Oooooooooooooooohhhhh I really like that idea. YUM!
those look great! did you see those Christmas pretzel hugs I think it's called on my Pinterest?
I don't think we get square pretzels here but I will keep looking because rolos plus anything = GOOD!
I bet those tasted really good!! Eat a few more for me =)
I need to find some of those kisses!! I bet that salty and sweet combo was great! Yum!
Now I have a craving...at 9pm. And I am without the necessary baking supplies...LOL!
