I love candy turtles! I used to always just buy them in the store, not knowing how easy it was to make them at home. And it’s very easy! You just need a few inexpensive ingredients and less than 30 minutes to make your own delicious turtles! Once you make your own Homemade Chocolate Caramel Turtles you’ll never want to buy the commercial version again!

These make wonderful homemade food gifts! Put them in treat cups and treat bags to give your gift of homemade chocolate caramel turtles a professional touch! A ribbon to tie off the bag is a nice addition, but you can also just use regular twist ties. Along with being great gifts, these are wonderful additions to party grab bags!

Milk chocolate chips
Caramel bits
You will also need:

Wilton large treat cups (optional)
Clear plastic treat bags (optional)
Twist ties or ribbon (optional)
Directions
1. Melt your caramel bites and chocolate chips in two separate microwave safe bowls on medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until caramel and chocolate are both melted (caramel will melt faster). Stir every 30 seconds.
2. Put together groups of 3 pecans.
3. Using a measuring spoon scoop a little melted caramel on each group of pecans.
4. Use a clean measuring spoon to scoop a little melted chocolate on top of the caramel.

If you’re giving these homemade chocolate caramel turtles as a gift, remember to keep them in a cool location. If you leave them in a hot car, the chocolate and caramel will start to melt again.

YUM, my Sister and I were just talking about making these tasty treats:) Have a blessed day dear friend, HUGS!
Yum! I used to make turtles back in my candy making days for the holidays – So good. The last time I made sweet treats like that for the holidays, my home smelled like chocolate for days afterwards. 🙂
I made these, with peanuts instead of pecans, and my husband said to tell you that he liked them a lot!
