- Turtle Candies
Pecan halves
11 ounce bag Kraft caramels
2 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream
12 ounce bag semi sweet or dark chocolate chips
Place four pecan halves into an x shape on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Melt caramels and whipping cream in microwave. Microwave one minute then stir. Melt in 30 second increments until the caramel is melted. Place a small spoonful of caramel in the center of the pecan halves.
Allow these to cool on counter or in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour or until the caramel is firm.
Melt chocolate chips in the microwave the same way you did the caramel. Cover the caramel with the chocolate then place the candy back into the refrigerator so it cools and the chocolate hardens.
Store in an airtight container.
Yields : 24 turtles

I'm loving the 12 days of candy 🙂🦋
This is my husband’s favorite treat. He would eat as many as I could make. Candy is getting so expensive. Especially chocolate but I still have to make Christmas treats. Thanks Tom and Melissa 🍫🍫🍮
An old man that worked at a local bakery in Mobile, Alabama gave my husband this recipe, it’s been probably been almost 45 years ago. He folded his pecans in with the caramels, I do the same.
I dip the whole thing in chocolate.
I use milk chocolate as the coating.
Sometimes, I use chopped pecans and stir them into the melted caramels.
I tried making them years ago by making my own caramel. For some reason it always crystalizes.
You are on a good start. Thanks for the recipes. God Bless
How do you store these? 🎄
You are very calming to watch. It’s wonderful that you and your wife have fun together. Thank you for your channel. Happy holiday, Merry Christmas 🎄 Be safe.
Loving your 12 days of treats !!!!! ❤
I think. IT. Cute when. You. Talk. About. The. Little. Turtle. Leg. God. Bless❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This series is a GREAT idea!
Love your 12 days series! Can’t wait for tomorrow! Thank you for sharing with us!🎄
Thank you Melissa! I love having a written recipe!!
I love, love, love this channel. So glad it came across my recommendations. ❤
I'm 66 years young, and I've never made "Turtles". This is a great way to do them. I can't tell y'all how much I enjoy your channel. Tom, you have taught me much easier ways to make things I've been making for years. Your Butterscotch Oatmeal is awesome! I make that about twice a week for my husband and myself. And I have tried several more of your recipes... they're always great! Thank you again so very much❤️
Thank you so much for thinking of the firemen. My Dad was a fireman for 30 years. They do love receiving treats.
Hello, my name is Cindy and I am a sugarholic. The twelve days of Christmas has tested my strength in a sweet way. Thank you for this recipe.
Thank you for sharing & demonstrating such easy treats (& meals) ❤
I loved your peanut butter snowballs! I’m sure I will love these too… my family and friends thank you. 10 days to go!!🎉
When I was growing up in north Ogden Utah , we had a nice older couple that would bring these to our house every year at Christmas time. My favorite treat. I sure enjoy watching your videos
🎄🎄🎄Good afternoon from Bon Secour , Alabama… Roll Tide 🏈
One of my favorite candies! Looks great and easy.
Turtles is one of my favorite candies! I will definitely be using your recipe ... YUMM!!!
Tom and Melissa, it is always a treat to come sit at your table because I know I am guaranteed something delicious! Loving the 12 Days of Christmas. Blessings!
Turtles were my mom's favorite candy.
Wow! Nothing fattening about these. ❤❤❤
My husband has been so inspired to cook and bake, with your RUclips videos. He made these treats at Christmas for all our family and friends.
Love Turtles candy. Thanks for bringing it back.
Beautiful couple God bless
Thanks so much! We really appreciate your kindness.
My daughter is a great lover of these. But she loves cashews. They are made the same way. You should try them sometime. They are delicious. Thank you for the video.😊
I also love them with cashews. And dark chocolate.
Ester Price has them with cashews and dark chocolate, delicious, but expensive.!
Get yourself a cookie scoop. The little lever helps so much when using liquid caramel. Pops it out just dandy. ✝️❤️
@charlainemarkesen4708 they have a cookie scoop. He used it yesterday for the first day of this 12 days of Christmas series.
Thank you for sharing! Have a beautiful special Christmas with your family! God bless you and yours.
Thanks for sharing they freeze nicely❤
That's got to be the easiest to make Turtle Candy . Thanks for sharing with us Tom and Melissa , stay safe and keep up the great recipes. Fred.
Yumm..love those chocolate covered turtles. Thank for sharing. 💜😇
You made it look so easy. I think I would like to add some chopped pecans and a bit of kosher salt.
Another yummy treat! Thank you Melissa & Tom! 😊
Turtles are my favorite candy, yum♥
They are a great candy and so easy to make, really. They are kid friendly if you have any little ones who'd like to join you in the kitchen. That's a great way to make good holiday memories! Merry Christmas!
Love watching your videos. You and your wife sound so humble and kind.
Nothing better than turtles 😊
These are my favorite candy. You're making me drool here. Thanks for sharing.
Thank y’all for all y’all do.
Love your 12 days of Christmas videos!!! Enjoy all your videos!!
12/2/23, I just love y’all. All of your recipes turn out delicious and are easily understood. Thank you both so very much.
This video warms my heart. Turtles are my dad’s favorite candies.I’ll definitely try your recipe.
I love these. We have a great chocolatier called Purdy’s up here that makes these but they’re called Sweet Georgia Browns and I love them now I can make my own. 🇨🇦🇨🇦. Also congratulations on your expanding audience. I see you’re at 120k. Lots of fans.
Those look scrumptious 😋 I'm definitely going to make them. Thank you Tom & Melissa. ❤
Man, it is a job unwrapping the caramels. 😊😊
Thank you so very much. Your demeanor while instructing is awesome. You know what I've never been able to make candy. Only peanut utter pinwheels. To make every one of your 12 days of Christmas treats. This way you and your wonderful wife will have helped me over this challenge in my life. I'll be able to give homemade delicious Christmas gifts. I had a dear sister-in-law that passed that would make my husband a wonderful tin full of mixed candies. She was so good at it. Miss her too. Oh well she'd be glad to know that you are part of my World now. Great job on everything you do. MERRY 🎄 CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.❤🙋🌞🎁
Hi Tom and Melissa! My sister used to make a version with a mini pretezel on the bottom, then a piece of mini rolo followed by the pecan. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us. Looking forward to making your various 12-days of treats 😋😋🥰🥰

I remember my grandmother making these when I was a child. Your video brought the memories out. Thanks for sharing and please keep it up. 😊❤️
You look so cute when you tasted the delicious looking turtle! LOL😊
My favorite candy they so good ❤
45 years ago, the caramel bag was probably a full pound. I remember the first time I bought sugar that was 4 pounds instead of 5 pounds. Totally threw me and afterward, it seemed like most products followed suit. I love pecan turtles and these look delicious! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you from Harrodsburg, KY ❣️
This is straight awesomeness!!!
Now, I know how to make two (2) different types of turtles!!!
Those look so amazing!! Yummy 😋!!
What can I say…..YUM!! ❤
My goodness you both outdid yourselves today. The candy turtles look amazing and the recipe seemed quite easy and doable. I never would have tried to make them before but now I just can't wait to give them a try. It's a bit early but may I wish you a very Merry Christmas. Have enjoyed your channel so much and always recommend it to all my family and friends. Love from Debbie and Dexter-Dog my sweet tiny rescued Chihuahua companion living a quiet crafty life in southern California.❤❤
I made these tonight and it was very easy as you said. I normally make my own caramel, but decided to go easy this year!! I did have to warm the caramel a couple of times, but I made more Turtles as well. I bought two bags and counted them and had 39 caramels per bag!! So they’ve gone down one less caramel now!! Thanks for sharing your recipe!!
There are so many ways to make these! I put a caramel on each turtle and put in oven to soften, then I push down on the caramel then dip the turtle in dark chocolate that has a little paraffin wax! I’m 60+ years and my mom did this recipe !
i remember my mom used to make Christmas candy. I sure brings back good memories. Thank you!
Looks delicious. Don't know what could be better than turtles!
It’s looking good 👍 awesome job done delicious turtles candy. I love dark chocolate.😊
My husband loves Turtles, so I'll have to get him to help me make these.

I tried this recipe. Couldn't find plain pecans. But used glazed pecans. Was delicious. Husband even loved them.
Turtles are very similar to “Millionaires” in Texas! One of my favorite candies! 😋

When I was in the 11th grade In homeeck we got to go to the store and each of us got to pick out a candy we wanted to make it. It was around Christmas and the school paid for it and pecan turtles is what I made this sure brought back a lot of memories. That’s been many a year ago, I really enjoy this show. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for the encouragement. We really do appreciate the kind words.
We love how food connects us to sweet memories at times. Your home economics class sounds like a fun one.
