Instructions:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Toast Pecans (Optional):<\/strong>\u00a0Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Spread pecan halves on a baking sheet and toast for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Let cool.<\/li>\n
  2. Arrange Pecans:<\/strong>\u00a0Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Group 3-4 pecan halves into small clusters.<\/li>\n
  3. Make Caramel:<\/strong>\u00a0In a microwave-safe bowl, combine unwrapped soft caramels and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until caramel is smooth and melted. Let cool slightly until thickened, but not too much.<\/li>\n
  4. Add Caramel:<\/strong>\u00a0Spoon about 1 tablespoon of melted caramel over each pecan cluster. Let set for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.<\/li>\n
  5. Melt Chocolate:<\/strong>\u00a0In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and vegetable oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until chocolate is fully melted and smooth.<\/li>\n
  6. Assemble Turtles:<\/strong>\u00a0Spoon or drizzle about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate over each caramel-covered pecan cluster. Sprinkle with sea salt or drizzle with white chocolate (optional).<\/li>\n
  7. Let Candies Set:<\/strong>\u00a0Allow turtle candies to sit at room temperature or refrigerate for about 30 minutes until chocolate is fully set. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for longer storage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
