Salted Caramel & Pecan Turtles Recipe - 2 Ways

Just a Tip!

Difficulty: For Beginners

Budget: Cheap

Estimated Time: Under 30 minutes

You Will Need...

2/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted
16 Pretzel Snaps (Optional)
16 caramel candies
1 (16 oz.) package Chocolate CandiQuik Coating
Garnish: a pinch of sea salt for each candy

Instructions

# 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Arrange the pretzel snaps on a parchment-lined baking sheet; divide the toasted pecans into 16 small piles on the parchment paper OR on top of each pretzel snap.

# 2

Flatten each caramel cube to approximately 1” square and place on top of the pecans. Heat in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the caramel softens and begins to melt. Remove from the oven; let cool.

# 3

Melt CANDIQUIK according to package directions. For the Pretzel version: drizzle each candy with chocolate coating (optional: dip each candy in chocolate coating). Sans pretzel: spoon a small amount of chocolate coating directly onto the parchment paper. Place the pecan/caramel candy on top of the chocolate. Drizzle with additional chocolate coating.
