Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place coconut and pecans on a parchment paper covered 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until toasted, watching very closely so they do not burn. Set aside to cool.

  • Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto parchment covered baking sheets.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for about 10-12 minutes or until browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Notes

For the pretzels, you can use any type of thin pretzel, such as regular pretzels, mini pretzels or pretzel sticks.
