Instructions
Prepare the Pecans:
- Place the pecan halves in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Set aside.
Make the Caramel:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the caramel candies and heavy cream together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Melt the Chocolate:
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk and dark chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Assemble the Clusters:
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange the toasted pecans in small clusters. Spoon a small amount of caramel over each cluster, followed by a drizzle of the melted chocolate.
Chill and Set:
- Refrigerate the clusters for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chocolate has set completely.
Serve:
- Serve the turtle clusters as a sweet treat or store them for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Make Ahead:These chocolate pecan turtle clusters can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Keep them at room temperature for the best texture.
- Customizing the Flavor:Feel free to add a pinch of sea salt on top for a salty-sweet twist or use dark chocolate entirely for a more intense chocolate flavor.
- Serving Suggestions:Serve these turtle clusters as a sweet treat for parties, holidays, or simply as a delightful snack with a cup of coffee or tea.
- Storage Tips:Store leftover turtle clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. You can also freeze them for longer storage, keeping them wrapped in plastic wrap or in a sealed bag for up to 2 months.
