Homemade Turtle Candy with Pecans and Caramels

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Take four pecan halves and form an X shape on the parchment paper. Repeat this with the remaining pecan halves. Make sure you leave some space between each X.

Step 3

Add the caramels into a microwave-safe bowl and add a tablespoon of water. Melt in the microwave for 30 seconds. Remove, stir, and repeat if needed until your caramel is melted and no chunks are visible.

Step 4

Add a tablespoon of the melted caramel over the center of each egg shape you made with pecans. Make sure the center is covered.

Step 5

Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. Go for 30-second increments, stirring between each, until your chocolate chips are melted with no visible chunks.

Step 6

Add melted chocolate over the caramel in the center. Place the baking sheet with your prepared candy into the freezer. The melted chocolate and caramel would take about half an hour to set. Remove from the freezer and enjoy!
