These items are chocolate-covered caramel pecan clusters, commonly called “turtles.”
What They Are:
- Ingredients: Roasted pecans, soft caramel, and melted chocolate.
- Assembly: Pecans are typically arranged in a small cluster, topped with caramel, and then coated or drizzled with chocolate.
- Texture & Flavor: Crunchy nuts, chewy caramel, and smooth chocolate make a rich, indulgent treat.
Serving & Storage:
- Perfect for holidays, gifts, or snacking.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate to keep longer.
💡 Tip: To make them extra fancy, drizzle white chocolate on top for contrast or sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate before it sets.
