Ingredients
 

  • Three pecans per turtle 72
  • One caramel individually wrapped, unwrapped per turtle (24) or our recipe for Salted Caramels, see link below.
  • Good quality milk chocolate approx. 1 1/2 cups, melted
  • Sea salt optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300F. On a Silpat or parchment paper lined tray place three pecans per turtle in a "Y" formation. Top with a caramel or make our Salted Caramels. (If making homemade caramels then cut the baking time down to only 4 min. AND WATCH CLOSELY! As opposed to 9-10 minutes for commercially bought caramels.)
  • Bake for 9-10 min. or until caramel just starts to melt. Remove from oven.
  • Top each with the melted chocolate and sea salt if using.
  • Refrigerate until hardened. Store in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. Let warm to room temperature before serving.
