How to Make Chocolate Pecan Turtle Clusters
Follow this step-by-step guide to create a treat that’s as delicious as it is easy to make.
Ingredients You’ll Need
2 cups pecan halves
1 cup soft caramels (or caramel candies like Kraft caramels)
1 tablespoon heavy cream or milk
1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk/dark chocolate)
1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Sea salt flakes (for garnish)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Pecans:
Arrange the pecan halves in small clusters (about 3-4 pecans each) on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. Make the Caramel:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramels and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the caramels are melted and smooth.
Spoon a small amount of caramel over each pecan cluster, ensuring the pecans are well-coated.
