Turtle Candies are a chocolate shop classic. Invented around 1918, these cute and delicious turtles have been available for purchase in-store for decades, with their original recipe unaltered: pecans, caramel, and chocolate. Modern takes on the recipe add other ingredients, but at the core of the confection lies a simplicity of ingredients and a powerfully decadent flavor.
Surprisingly easy to make at home, they just need three common ingredients to recreate the familiar chocolate treat. Double or triple the recipe to have enough to give to family and friends as a holiday treat, or as a party favor for showers or office celebrations. They are meant to be rustic looking, so don’t worry about keeping the turtles round or about having some of the pecans poking through, that’s the beauty of these confections. Eat them on their own, or use them as decorations for cakes, cheesecake, cupcakes, pies, or ice cream bowls.
Because few ingredients are needed, each is very important to the final flavor, so use good quality pecans and chocolate. Homemade caramel is always best—leftover caramel from a different recipe is great to use here—but using store-bought soft caramels will also make a tasty treat. That’s also the fastest and easiest way of bringing these little turtles to life.
