Ingredients

• 1 cup pecan halves
• 24 soft caramel candies
• 24 mini marshmallows
• 12 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Spread the pecan halves on a baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until fragrant. Remove from the oven and let them cool.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. Place a caramel candy on top of each mini marshmallow.
5. Take one pecan half and press it gently on top of the caramel and marshmallow stack, creating a turtle shape. Repeat for the remaining ingredients.
6. Place the turtle-shaped candies on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for about 10 minutes to firm up.
7. While the turtles are chilling, melt the semisweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
8. Remove the turtles from the refrigerator and dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are completely coated. Use a fork to lift them out, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
9. Return the turtles to the parchment-lined baking sheet and let them set at room temperature until the chocolate hardens.
10. Once the chocolate is fully set, you can store the turtles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
