Ingredients
- 4 ounces pecans toasted lightly
- 8- ounce caramel individual wrapped (I used about 25 individually wrapped caramel)
- 1 ½ tablespoon heavy cream
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
- Sea salt for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Line the baking tray with parchment paper. Bake nuts in preheated oven for 3 to 5 minutes. Keep a constant eye on nuts. Remove before it gets burnt. If using the stove top, spread nuts on a large skillet. Toast it on stove top on medium-low heat.
- To a small saucepan add caramel and heavy cream. Heat on low heat with constant stirring until caramel is fully melted. Remove from heat, and set aside.
- Melt semi-sweet chocolate in the microwave (optional – add ¼ teaspoon coconut oil) in 20 seconds intervals, stirring regularly until fully. Set aside.
- Arrange toasted pecan in groups of 3 to 5 nuts on a tray lined it parchment paper or silicon mat. Lay it one top-of-another into a cluster or arrange it as shown in the picture to resemble a turtle's head, limbs, and tail.
- Pour 1 tablespoon (or as much as you desire) hot caramel sauce on top of arranged pecan clusters. Allow caramel to set (if not fully, slightly) before you pour the melted chocolate.
- Pour 1 ½ teaspoon melted semi-sweet chocolate over caramel. Using the tip of the spoon swirl the chocolate around to form the shell of the turtle.
- Sprinkle sea salt on top. Allow turtle chocolate to set completely.
- Devour it.
Notes
- This recipe makes 16-24 turtles depending on how many pecan nuts you use per cluster.
