Candy shop treats can be made in your kitchen, and without breaking a sweat! Easy Turtle Treats are layers upon layers of happiness, from the turtle shell of the pecan on top, to the pool of rich chocolate on the bottom, all with a crunchy pretzel and buttery caramel lovingly sandwiched in between. Each of Easy Turtle Treats takes you back to your childhood and seeing those delightful candies in the window... and now you can enjoy them to the fullest!
Ingredients
- 24 pecan halves
- 24 mini pretzel twists
- 24 individually wrapped caramel squares
- 8 ounces milk chocolate, melted
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Step 2 -On a baking sheet, place the pecan halves in a single layer.
Step 3 -Toast the pecans, shaking the pan once halfway through, until they're lightly toasted, about 5-6 minutes.
Step 4 -Transfer the pecans to a plate to cool.
Step 5 -Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 6 -Arrange the pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7 -Top each of the pretzels with one of the unwrapped caramels.
Step 8 -Bake the pretzels until the caramels are softened but not melting, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 9 -Transfer the baking sheet from the oven.
Step 10 -Gently press 1 of the toasted pecan halves into each of the softened caramels just enough so the caramel fills the spaces in the pretzel.
Step 11 -Set the pretzels aside to cool completely.
Step 12 -Melt the chocolate, either in a double boiler or in a microwave.
Step 13 -Transfer the cooled pretzel caramels from the baking sheet.
Step 14 -Dollop 1 1/2 teaspoonfuls of the melted chocolate all over the baking sheet.
Step 15 -Lightly place each pretzel onto the middle of each chocolate dollop, making sure they are centered, and press down gently.
Step 16 -Allow the turtle treats to cool completely.
Step 17 -Serve.
