Traditional Turtle Candies

Melt the Chocolate:

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.
2. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water.
3. Coat with Chocolate:
   • Spoon about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate over each caramel-pecan cluster, ensuring the caramel is covered.
   • Use the back of the spoon to spread the chocolate evenly.
   • Let the chocolate set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to speed up the process.
4. Serve and Store:
   • Once the chocolate is set, your homemade turtle candies are ready to enjoy!
   • Store the turtle candies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
