Turtle-candy is chocolate classic that’s surprisingly simple to making at home. You just need three ingredients to recreate the pecans, caramel and chocolate. There are a lot of different ways to make them – some people shape them into patties, while others like to make a more literal turtle shape. Ultimately, how you do them is up to you.
