What Is Turtle Candy?
Turtle candy gets its name from its unique shape—when pecans, caramel, and chocolate come together, they resemble a turtle. The pecans act as the "legs," while the caramel and chocolate form the "shell." This treat is a favorite in candy shops and homemade versions are even better because they allow you to customize the ingredients to your taste.
Ingredients You’ll Need
To make homemade turtle candy, you'll need just three main ingredients:
• Pecans – 2 cups of whole pecan halves (toasted for extra flavor)
• Caramel – 1 cup of soft caramel candies or homemade caramel
• Chocolate – 1 cup of semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate chips
• Butter (optional) – 1 teaspoon (if making homemade caramel)
• Sea Salt (optional) – A pinch for extra flavor
