Salted Turtle Chocolates

These are the perfect holiday treat to have around the house and they're really fun to make. Also, dead easy!

Here's what you'll need:
Pecan halves
unwrapped soft caramels (store bought or homemade —I used store bought!)
Semi-sweet chocolate, melted
Sea salt for sprinkling

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place two pecan halves next to each other on a baking sheet and place a caramel on top. Repeat this step as many times as you want depending on how many turtles you want to make.

Place baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for ~5 minutes or until the caramel has melted (be sure to keep an eye on them while baking —you don't want the caramel to burn!).

Allow to cool.

Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in the microwave, then either a) dip the bottom of the turtles into the melted chocolate or b) spoon a small amount of melted chocolate onto the parchment paper and place the turtles on top (I did b)).

Drizzle some of the remaining melted chocolate on top of the turtles and sprinkle with sea salt. Ta-da —all done!! How easy was that?!
