Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Place a sheet of parchment or silpat, on a cookie sheet. Lightly toast pecans for 2-3 minutes.
- For each candy, place 3 pecan halves in a "Y" shape on the foil.
- Place on caramel over the center of each cluster of pecans. Bake about 6-7 minutes, just until the caramel melts. The caramels might still appear un-melted, press them gently with the back of a spatula to flatten slightly. Cool 2-3 minutes.
- Melt chocolate chips over a very low heat (or use a double boiler), stirring. Spoon chocolate over the candies, leaving just the tips of the pecans uncovered. Sprinkle with additional nuts or sea salt flakes. Chill until chocolate firms, about 10 minutes. Makes 24 turtle candies.
Notes
- The fresher the caramels, the more easily they will melt.
- flatten the caramels slightly to help them melt more easily.
- top turtle candy with sea salt flakes or finely chopped pecans.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
