CHOCOLATE PECAN TURTLE CLUSTERS
Looking for a sweet treat that’s sure to
impress? These Chocolate Pecan Turtle Clusters are the perfect blend of crunchy
pecans, chewy caramel, and rich chocolate. They’re easy to make and absolutely
irresistible! Here’s how to whip them
up:
INGREDIENTS :
For the Pecan Layer :
2 cups pecans
FOR THE CARAMEL LAYER :
6 tablespoons butter
½ cup light brown sugar
½ cup regular sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
½ cup condensed milk
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
FOR THE CHOCOLATE LAYER :
2 cups chopped chocolate
DIRECTIONS :
First things first – crank that oven to 350°F. Spread your pecans
on a baking sheet (I line mine with parchment because I’m lazy when it comes to
cleanup). Toast them for 8-10 minutes until they’re fragrant. Your kitchen’s
about to smell amazing!
Once the pecans cool a bit, chop them up. Don’t go crazy here – you
want pieces, not dust. I just run my knife through them a few times in
different directions. Set these babies aside.
Here comes the fun part! Melt your butter in the microwave, but do
it in short bursts. Trust me on this – I once didn’t, and let’s just say
cleaning butter off microwave walls isn’t how I like to spend my afternoon.

In a large bowl, mix your melted butter with both sugars, corn
syrup, and condensed milk. Oh, and pro tip that condensed milk is stubborn
stuff – make sure you scrape every last bit out of the measuring cup. Pop this
mixture in the microwave for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
When it comes out (careful, it’s HOT!), stir in the vanilla
extract. Then fold in those toasted pecans until they’re all coated in that
gorgeous caramel. Let this cool a bit before dropping portions onto your lined
tray – trust me, patience pays off here. The first time I made these, I rushed
it and ended up with one giant turtle!
Pop the tray in the fridge for about 30 minutes. While you’re
waiting, melt your chocolate in 30-second bursts in the microwave, stirring
between each one. Nobody likes scorched chocolate!
Now for the fun part – dipping! Use a fork to dunk each
caramel-pecan cluster into the melted chocolate. Tap off the excess (or don’t –
I won’t tell), and place them on wax paper to set.
Back into the fridge they go for another 30 minutes or until set.
Enjoy your CHOCOLATE PECAN TURTLE CLUSTERS.
