Share:
Ingredients
- 3 cups pecan halves
- 1 package soft caramels 12 ounce
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 12 ounce
Instructions
- Line counter with large sheet of parchment paper. Arrange pecans about 2-inches apart (3 to 4 pecans per candy).
- Melt caramels in microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Or, if using our homemade caramel recipe, when the caramel reaches temperature, use a small Tablespoon cookie scoop and dollop the top of each pecan turtle with caramel. You'll need about 1/4 of the caramel in our recipe. Pour the remaining caramel into a prepared dish, or if desired, make more turtles!
- Melt chocolate in microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth (about 1-2 minutes total). Dollop a Tablespoon or so of chocolate on the tops of each caramel turtle. Allow to set.
Notes
- You'll need about 3-4 pecans per turtle, depending on the size. For that authentic turtle "look" we use 4 pecans. For best flavor, toast the pecans before using!
- For the caramels, you can use homemade caramels (like we prefer), you'll need about 1/4 of the batch. Or use a package of store bought soft caramels. Werthers soft caramels are perfect for melting.
- Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- Do not refrigerator or freeze turtles or the chocolate will change color.
