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.
