The caramel in these turtle cups was a bit too runny. I would recommend cooking it for a few minutes longer.

The chocolate in these turtle cups was a bit too dark for my liking. I would prefer a milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate.

These turtle cups are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the caramel.
