Description

Indulge in the decadent delight of homemade chocolate turtles with this easy recipe. These sweet and nutty treats are perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings.


Ingredients

Pecan Clusters:

  • 2 cups pecan halves (lightly toasted)

Caramel Layer:

  • 1 cup caramel bits or soft caramel candies
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Chocolate Coating:

  • 2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate)


Instructions

  1. Prepare Pecan Clusters: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange clusters of pecan halves in small groups on the sheet.
  2. Make Caramel Layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat caramel bits and heavy cream in 30-second intervals until smooth. Spoon caramel over each pecan cluster.
  3. Add Chocolate Coating: Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil, then spoon or drizzle over the caramel layer.
  4. Set and Store: Let the turtles cool until set, then store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Enhance flavor with sea salt.
  • Toasting pecans elevates their nutty taste.
  • Dark chocolate can be used for a richer flavor.
