Ingredients
  

For the turtles
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Use semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips.
  • 1 cup caramel bits These are easier to work with than traditional caramel.
  • 1 cup pecans Chopped or halved for texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a slow cooker, combine chocolate chips and caramel bits.
  3. Set the slow cooker on low and allow to melt, stirring occasionally until smooth.
  4. Once melted, gently fold in pecans until well coated.
Setting
  1. Use a small cookie scoop or two spoons to portion the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
  2. Leave space between clusters to prevent merging.
  3. Let them cool at room temperature until set and firm to the touch.

Notes

Cool in a temperature-controlled environment for a smoother finish. Store in an airtight container for best shelf life. For gifting, stack in boxes with layers of parchment paper to avoid sticking.
