Sam's Place: Chocolate turtles

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.
