How to Make Homemade Turtle Candy
Step 1: Prep the tray
Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil and spray lightly with nonstick spray.
Step 2: Arrange pecans
Lay 4 pecan halves together in a little cluster (like turtle legs). Repeat across the tray.
Step 3: Melt the caramel
Unwrap caramels and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Add 1 tbsp water if needed to soften.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth. Let it cool for 1 minute.
Step 4: Add the caramel
Spoon a dollop of caramel onto each pecan cluster. No need to be perfect—rustic is the vibe here!
Step 5: Melt the chocolate
Melt chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
Step 6: Top with chocolate
Spoon chocolate over the caramel, letting it gently spread to cover the mound.
Step 7: Chill
Place tray in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or until fully set.
Step 8: Serve or store
Serve at room temp for best texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge or a cool pantry for up to 2 weeks.
