Homemade Turtles Candy Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the pecans in a single layer on a large baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Let cool. Line 2 baking sheets with wax or parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray. Place pecans in clusters of four on the prepared baking sheets.

In a small saucepan, heat the caramel bits and milk (or water) over medium-low heat. Stir constantly until mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of caramel over the top center of each pecan cluster. Place baking sheets in the refrigerator.

Place the chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 60 seconds. Stir and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and creamy. Remove baking sheets from the fridge and spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate over the top centers of the caramel. Return baking sheets to the fridge for 30 minutes, or until ready to serve.
