A friend shared this recipe with me a few days ago. If someone has already posted one like it please excuse. I am adding these to my Christmas basket for my grandkids. I got the gift bags (clear see through) and will fill it with these turtles and tie with a Christmas ribbon. When I saw them I thought of my oldest grandson...

Categories     Chocolate

Number Of Ingredients 3

20 small mini pretzels
20 chocolate covered caramel candies
20 pecan halves

Steps:

  • 1.Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). 2.Arrange the pretzels in a single layer on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Place one chocolate covered caramel candy on each pretzel. 3.Bake for 4 minutes. While the candy is warm, press a pecan half onto each candy covered pretzel. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 50% is a good choice.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test to check if the caramel is ready. Drop a small amount of caramel into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a firm ball, it is ready.
  • Be careful not to overcook the caramel. Overcooked caramel will be hard and brittle.
  • If the caramel is too thick, you can add a little bit of cream or milk to thin it out.
  • Work quickly when assembling the turtles. The caramel will start to set quickly.
  • Store the turtles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Pretzel turtles are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and salty snack that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give pretzel turtles a try.
