Choose high-quality chocolate for a rich finish.
• Place chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or butter (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl.
• Heat in 20-30 second increments, stirring until completely melted and glossy.
• Spoon a layer of melted chocolate over each caramel and pecan cluster, spreading it lightly with the back of a spoon to cover the caramel.
• Sprinkle with sea salt flakes for a gourmet touch, if desired.
Step 5: Cool and set
• Once all the treats are assembled, place the pan in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes or until completely set.
• Once firm, remove and store in an airtight container at room temperature (if your home is cool) or in the refrigerator for longer storage.
Tips for Perfect Turtle Treats
• Customize Your Chocolate: Swap out semi-sweet chocolate for milk or white chocolate for variety.
• Make It Homemade: If you prefer, you can make your own caramel from scratch for an extra special touch.
• Add Texture: A pinch of chopped pretzels or crushed caramel can add a fun crunch.
