Let's see what we all cooked up.......

It's been a crazy week around here and I wasn't sure I was going to get these candies made in time for the event.  Luckily when I say they are quick and easy, I am not lying.  I got up yesterday morning and while the coffee brewed I set up my pecans.  I know they look more like crosses than turtles right now but fear not.

I poured my coffee and took a couple of sips while the caramel melted.  Then I added a dollop to each cross of pecans.

I finished my coffee as the chocolate was melting.  I poured chocolate over the caramel and headed to get showered and dressed for the day.

By the time I was done, the candy had set and the turtles were ready to be boxed.  How easy is that?!!

The recipe I'm sharing makes only a dozen turtles but you can make as many as you want all it takes is more ingredients and a smidge more time.  Have fun!!
