Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups pecan halves Lightly toasted
  • 11 oz caramel candies Unwrapped
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 0.5 tsp sea salt optional, for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and arrange pecans on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until fragrant. Let them cool.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine caramel candies and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
  • On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange small clusters of pecans. Spoon a dollop of the melted caramel on each pecan cluster.
  • In another microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and vegetable oil, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  • Spoon melted chocolate over the caramel layer on each turtle cluster. Optionally, sprinkle with sea salt before chocolate sets.
  • Let the turtles set at room temperature until the chocolate is firm, then enjoy or store in an airtight container.

Notes

These chocolate turtles are a delightful treat for any occasion and make excellent gifts. Be sure to store them in a cool place to prevent the chocolate from melting.
