Ingredients
- 35 pecan halves
- 35 pretzel twists
- 35 caramels
- 12 ounce chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 1 teaspoon fleur de sel
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F.
- Roast Pecans: Roast the pecan halves for about 5 minutes or until they become aromatic.
- Assemble: Next, lay the pretzels on a baking sheet lined with silpat or parchment paper, and then set a caramel on top of each pretzel. I did 7 rows of 5 pretzels on each row.
- Melt Caramel: Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for about 5 to 6 minutes until the caramels soften, but make sure they do not melt. Next press pecan halves on top of the caramels.
- Add Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 seconds intervals. Stir after every 30 seconds until smooth and melted. Remove the pretzels from the baking sheet. Use a measuring spoon to spoon small dollops, about half a tbsp of chocolate over the baking silpat. Take the pretzels and gently press on top of the chocolate. Continue until finished. If you have some leftover chocolate, drizzle some on top of the pretzels and sprinkle with fleur de sel.
- Cool & Serve: Allow them to cool completely before serving. To speed this up you can pop them in the fridge for about half hour.

Notes
- For these pretzel turtles I used semi-sweet chocolate only, but if you like milk chocolate, feel free to use it! You could also use a mix of the two.
- You have to wait until the chocolate cools and hardens! To speed up the process pop them into the fridge for a bit, and then finally you can enjoy these delicious morsels
- Use a baking sheet lined with silpat or parchment paper for the easiest cleanup!
- Add a teaspoon of espresso powder to the melted chocolate for a mocha flair.
- You can store these pretzel turtles in airtight container in the refrigerator or at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Make sure to keep them away from warm temperatures or the chocolate will start to melt.
- Layer your turtles in an airtight container with parchment or wax paper in between (this will prevent them from sticking together.)
- Freeze for up to 2 months, then defrost at room temperature before serving.
