Pretzel Turtle Cookies

IMG_8309Warning…vanishing cookies!  Do not attempt to make if grandchildren are present!  The salty, sweet taste makes these cookies hard to resist.  The caramel adds a wonderful chewy texture, but is hot right out of the oven.  Allow enough time to cool before enjoying.  By Pat Savoie
