Step-by-Step InstructionsStep-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the base
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange pecan halves in small clusters of three or four — these will form the “turtle legs.”
Step 2: Melt the caramel
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine caramels and heavy cream. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and melted.
Step 3: Add the caramel
Spoon a small amount of melted caramel over each pecan cluster, letting it spread just enough to hold them together. Let cool and firm up for about 15–20 minutes.
Step 4: Melt the chocolate
In another bowl, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil or butter in the microwave, stirring until silky and smooth.
Step 5: Coat with chocolate
Spoon or drizzle chocolate over each caramel-pecan cluster, covering them completely or partially depending on your style.
Step 6: Chill and set
Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt (optional), then place the tray in the fridge for 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
Step 4: Closing
That’s it! In less than an hour, you’ll have Homemade Turtle Candies that taste every bit as good as store-bought — maybe even better. With their glossy chocolate tops, gooey caramel centers, and toasty pecan crunch, these sweet little bites are perfect for parties, gift boxes, or quiet evenings with a cup of coffee.
They’re simple, classic, and made to share — if you can resist eating them all first. 🍫🐢
