These Turtle Candy With Pecans and Caramel are always a big hit when I take them to family Christmas parties. They’re so easy to make at the last minute when you don’t have a lot of time. It does take some time for them to harden up to pack into containers.
I really like this recipe, this time I sprinkle chopped pecans on top of the melted Rolo’s.
This was so easy to do. I used the square waffle pretzels and rolos! Absolutely easy easy and yummy!
Ingredients:
12 ounces soft caramels (homemade or store-bought)
6 ounces pecans (halves, toasted)
8 ounces chocolate (semi-sweet, chips are fine)
How to Make It:
1 Gather the ingredients.
02 Prepare a cookie sheet by covering it with aluminum foil or parchment, and spraying the foil or parchment with nonstick cooking spray.
03 Arrange the pecans in clusters of 4 with each pecan pointing in a different direction (like turtle legs). Alternately, you can just drop them in small clusters on the baking sheet.
04 Unwrap the caramels if wrapped and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. If they are very stiff, add a spoonful of water so the final product will be softer. Microwave them until melted, stirring after every 30 seconds.
