Wow, is it Friday already? I’ve been a little MIA this week but don’t worry I have big plans and many, many ideas to share with you over the next few months. I’ll be back this weekend with a recap of our Halloween/birthday festivities, a giveaway, and hopefully a Christmas post. Before I get to all of that I want to show you how to make the easiest salted caramel turtles ever!
This is such a quick recipe with only 4 ingredients involved. I adapted the recipe from Candiquick.
-I started by placing two pecans next to each other on a parchment covered baking sheet, then added a flatten caramel piece on top.
-Once my oven was preheated to 325 degrees I baked them for 5 minutes (keep an eye on them so that the caramel doesn’t burn).
-Allow to cool.
Dip the bottom into melted chocolate or spoon a small amount back onto the parchment paper and place the turtle on top. Pipe melted chocolate on top and sprinkle with sea salt.
I’m giving these away as a gift later tonight so I popped them in refrigerator to quickly harden. Now I need to think of a creative way to package them before we leave. This really was an easy treat to make as a last minute gift that I just had to share.

Yum! I make turtles every Thanksgiving, but this might be my new recipe to try out! They are so cute the way you drizzle the chocolate over the top. :)
Blessings,

Wow, those do sound easy, and they look amazing! For packaging, what about using a cello bag with tons of beautiful curled ribbons? Or put them in a small treat box? There’s a ton of adorable packaging tutorials on Pinterest! I can’t wait to see what you come up with next– I’ll be pinning this recipe for sure!

Holy Cow or should I say Holy Turtle?!? These look incredible!
My mom used to make these when I was little. :) So deceptively simple! Yours look extraordinary.
As a question, how on earthy did you get the chocolate drizzle over the actual truffle to be so incredible perfect??? Love it! Thanks, nerdwithtaste.wordpress.com
Melt chocolate and either put it in a baggy with a TINY hole cut in the corner, then use it like a icing decorating bag. Or you can buy little bottles for just such drizzling but they are a pain to wash out.
Love how simple these are to make!
