These sweet and salty chocolate turtles are a treat anytime. This year I decided to make my own homemade chocolate turtles for the holidays. The only problem was that I didn’t take any pictures to post this sweet treat, so I made them again. Some people call these cookies, and some candy, I think they’re candy.
Here is what I used: In my Homemade Chocolate Turtles Recipe
1-11oz. bag of Kraft Caramel Bits
1-11.5oz. bag Nestle Milk Chocolate Morsels
2 tablespoons of heavy cream
1 cup of pecans (cut in half)
Sea Salt (Optional)
Making Chocolate Turtles is easy and here is how:
I lined two cookie sheets with tin foil, and greased the tin foil with Pam non-stick spray, this prevents the candy from sticking.
In a microwave bowl, I mixed the caramel bits and heavy cream. By the way, these caramel bits are wonderful because they are already unwrapped and ready for any recipe.
Melt the caramels in the microwave 30 seconds at a time stirring between each interval. I have to tell you that I was so excited to use my microwave for something other than heating up my cold coffee.
When the caramel stirs easily add the pecans and mix well. Drop onto the tin foil with a tablespoon.
I melted the chocolate in the microwave using the same 30-second method as the caramels. Use a tablespoon to cover the caramel and pecan drops. I sprinkled some sea salt over the chocolate to make these sweet and salty. You don’t have to use the sea salt if you don’t want to.
Place the cookie sheets in the freezer for about 15 or 20 minutes until the candy is firm. They peel right off of the tin foil because of the non-stick spray, now refrigerate and enjoy.
This recipe yielded me about 27 of these delicious beauties; I had to give some to my daughter so I wouldn’t be in sugar overload.

My mouth is watering all over my computer! Sounds so easy. Whoever invented the caramel bits should get an award.

They are very easy to make David, I finished all of them just last night, time to make more. Thanks
DeleteI have been seeing the photos of your chocolate turtles on social sites for several days and have been quite tempted by them. Finally decided to drop by and see how hard they would be to make. You've made it really easy and they look delicious!
ReplyDeleteThese are not at all difficult to make, it was really easy, most of the time was spent melting the caramel and chocolate. I would say about 30 minutes to happy for these. If I can do this anybody can. Thanks Cynthia for stopping by and if you try them let me know how they come out.
DeleteThe recipe says it makes 27 ... that probably wouldn't be the case in my house. These would be nice in a gift basket for someone for any holiday.
ReplyDeleteHi Fay, 27 of them is just what I yielded, you could get more if you made them smaller. I agree they would be great in a gift basket. Thanks, and have a wonderful weekend :)
DeleteOh my! They look so yummy. Thanks for sharing the recipe Sam.
ReplyDeleteHi Thelma, They are so really yummy!! So nice to have you stop by, Thanks and have a wonderful day today :)

DeleteCan't wait to try these! Thanks for sharing the recipe, Sam.
ReplyDeleteYou are so welcome Kyla, I hope you like them as much as I do. Thanks so much for stopping by :)
DeleteI don't think I'll ever stop loving chocolate turtles. We've had a romance for over 50 years. My mom had a box of them when I was little girl and she let me try one. It was love at first bite. :)
ReplyDeleteI do agree Treathyl, these are certainly a delight. And, they are not that difficult to make. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteNow you've gone and done it, Sam. I WANT some RIGHT NOW! lol. They look delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat, and thanks for sharing this. Next time I make them I'll send some and hope they don't melt!!!!
DeleteSam, I love this recipe, and I every season I order fresh pecans from Georgia. So I will have those here shortly and all I need to get are the chocolates and caramels. Thank you so much for this luscious "turtles" recipe! Sharing!
