Whats the best thing to do when there is nothing to do...make sweet treats of course! For some reason I have been wanting to make chocolate turtles, so today I made a few...since I am the only one here I didn't make a whole batch or I would eat the whole batch. These were the most stupid easy things to make and my favorite thing about them is that they are blank canvases. You can go so many places with these cute little chocolates. You can change the type of nut used...I was thinking cashews would be delish. Also for the holidays colored chocolate or sprinkles would make these guys very festive! Imagine bringing these to your next cookie exchange instead of those same old cut-out cookies!
All you need to make these is a bag of pecan halves, which you arrange on some parchment paper or a greased cookie sheet. Then some soft caramel candy and chocolate chips or wafers in dark or milk chocolate (I used milk chocolate wafers). Then you pour some melted caramel over your nuts and then the melted chocolate...chill for a bit....voila chocolate turtles...Easy as Pie! (an odd saying by the way because an actually good pie is really not that easy?)
Enjoy the pics...I used some white chocolate with green food coloring to make them look more turtley!
