You can also make homemade “turtles” with Rolos in place of the almond bark and a pecan half in place of the m&m. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Spread mini pretzels in single layer on the wax paper. Place 1 Rolo on top of each pretzel. Bake in oven at 200 for 4-5 min. Remove from oven and place a pecan half on top of each Rolo and press to flatten. Refrigerate to set.

Hey, Christy! Merry Christmas!!! Just made bunches of these: cheerios and cranberries (I like the saltiness of cheerios in candy), cashews and cranberries, sunflower seeds and cranberries, and prretzel pieces with sunflower seeds and cranberries, all in vanilla bark. It was so much fun! I made these last Christmas as well, and gave you all the credit! Don’t know what we’d do around here without you and all your neat ideas–Thanks a bunch! Mary

I made these last night! Awesome! One batch I did chocolate with the krispies and the other I did cherry craisins and white almond bark. I can’t decide which I like better. They were both great and helped fill the cutest tins I made for family members. Thanks!!

We’re going to do colored fruit loops and peanuts. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

I just bought almond bark at my Kroger store. The package looks very large, each package is 24 ounces with 12 squares per package. What size package has everyone been using? I want to get the proportions right. I want to do this project with my 4 year old grandaughter to take to her preschool. Any help would be appreciated.

I took a big old batch of these to work and everyone begged for the recipe…I love the endless combos!!! My favorite is broken pretzels and peanut m@ms dropped onto parchment, all the shapes are different and it looks like you spent hours on them! I use half a block at a time because a full block starts hardening before I can finish!

I love adding broken pretzel pieces to these–wonderful mix of salty and sweet!

This is the second time I’ve read about your “HOLLY JOLLIES” and I just realized I have all the things needed to make your white/cranberry ones. I think I’ll be making these very soon. Thanks so much for putting it out there to remind us….and so easy too….

You are just wonderful!!!!
