“I’ve now been making these for 30 years. My mom made them for 20 years before me.” (Page 2 ) | May 18, 2025

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the soft caramels in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.
Alternatively, melt the caramels in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
Assemble the Turtles:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Arrange the toasted pecans in clusters of 3-4 pecans, resembling a turtle’s legs and head.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the melted caramel over each pecan cluster.
Allow the caramel to set for about 10-15 minutes.
Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.
Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water.
Coat with Chocolate:
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate over each caramel-pecan cluster, ensuring the caramel is covered.
Use the back of the spoon to spread the chocolate evenly.
Let the chocolate set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to speed up the process.
Serve and Store:
Once the chocolate is set, your homemade turtle candies are ready to enjoy!
Store the turtle candies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
