Homemade Chocolate Turtles
These very easy Homemade Chocolate Turtles will be a hit all season long. Give them as gifts with other goodies. I have made these for years and years!!
Servings: 24
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.
