CARAMEL AND PECAN TURTLES - THANK YOU, MARY BETH!



Caramel and Pecan Turtles - Thank You, Mary Beth! image

It takes just 3 ingredients to make Mary Beth's Turtles. Follow Matt's instructions and you'll see just how fun they are to make and how perfect they are for gift giving any time of year. You will love how a chunk of caramel makes such a difference in the flavor. I bought the caramel and the disc chocolate at a candy and confection shop.

Time 2h

Yield 60 turtles

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound of caramel. A 1 pound chunk of caramel was used and was bought at a cake decorating and candy shop.
2 pounds of milk chocolate. I use the disc-shaped milk chocolate, You will have a little left over depending on how much chocolate you put in the cups.
1 pound of pecan halves. Mine were large and I had pecans left over.
Vegetable oil to thin chocolate.
Confectionary candy cups 1¾" X ⅝" (the ⅝" is the wall/depth of cup)
Sea salt - optional. Fleur de Sel Salt was used and bought at a local spice shop.

Steps:

  • Melt the chocolate while preparing the cups. A Wilton Chocolate Melter was used for this recipe. If you melt the chocolate on the stove it's best to use a double boiler.
  • Shape the chunk of caramel into a rectangular shape for slicing.
  • Cut slices of caramel off the block using a plastic spatula.
  • Cut the slices into squares 1" X ⅛ " thick. Work the squares in your hands and flatten.
  • You can even shape into circles if you like.
  • Place 3 pecan halves in the bottom of the cups. In my post, you can see that some of the halves were large and 2 filled the bottom.
  • Place a piece of caramel on top of the pecans.
  • When the chocolate is melted, add approximately 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil per pound of chocolate. This thins the chocolate and makes for easy pouring. It will not affect the taste or the hardening process You want it thin enough to run over the caramel.
  • Pour a heaping teaspoon plus of chocolate on top of the caramel and smooth the top. You might need to spread the chocolate to the sides helping it run down into the cups.
  • If you like you can sprinkle some type of sea salt on top while the chocolate is still soft.
  • The chocolate will harden just under an hour.
  • Store in an airtight container.
  • Wasn't that easy? This is a fun recipe to make with a friend.
