Ingredients
- 1 1/2 /2 cups chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 cup pecan halves plain or roasted
- 36 caramels unwrapped
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream half and half or milk
Instructions
- Line a rimmed sheet pan or cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Stir together and then microwave in 30-second increments until the chocolate chips have completely softened. Remove from microwave and stir together until smooth.
- Spread 1/2 teaspoon drops of chocolate onto parchment paper, spaced about three or four per row. This will be the bottom of your turtle candy and will prevent the caramel from sticking.
- Next arrange you pecan halves onto the warm chocolate.
- Add caramel and heavy cream to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals until the caramel has melted. Remove from the microwave and stir until smooth. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of caramel on top of the pecan halves.
- Top caramel with a teaspoon full of melted chocolate and spread with the back of the spoon to cover the pecans and caramel as much as possible.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set completely before serving.
Notes
- Package with parchment paper separating the turtles to prevent them from sticking together, if needed.
