👩‍🍳 How to Make Them Homemade Turtle Candy With Pecans and Caramel:
1. Prep Your Pan
Line a cookie sheet with parchment or foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Arrange the Pecans
Form clusters of 4 pecan halves, each pointing outward like turtle legs. Don’t worry about perfection — rustic is part of the charm.
3. Melt the Caramel
Unwrap the caramels and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. If they’re stiff, add a spoonful of water to soften. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
4. Add the Caramel
Let the caramel cool slightly so it’s not piping hot. Then, drop a spoonful over each pecan cluster. It’s okay if the pecans peek through — that’s part of their character.
5. Melt the Chocolate
Use a microwave or double boiler to melt the chocolate until smooth.
6. Top with Chocolate
Spoon melted chocolate over each caramel mound, letting it drip and spread naturally. Cover the caramel completely for a glossy finish.
