Easy Crockpot Turtles

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate: Place the chunks of almond bark, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and milk chocolate chips into the crockpot. Cover and cook on LOW for 1 hour. Do not stir until the hour is up.

  2. Combine with Pecans: After 1 hour, stir the chocolate mixture until it is smooth and fully melted. Stir in the 4 cups of pecan halves until they are completely coated. Cover and cook on LOW for another 15 minutes.

  3. Prepare the Muffin Tins: While the chocolate and pecans are warming, line your muffin tins with paper liners. Place one unwrapped caramel in the center of each liner.

  4. Assemble the Turtles: Using a cookie scoop or a ¼-cup measuring spoon, spoon the warm chocolate-pecan mixture over each caramel, completely covering it.

  5. Set the Candies: Allow the turtles to cool at room temperature until they are firm and solid. For faster setting, you can place the tins in the refrigerator for about 30-45 minutes.

  6. Serve and Store: Once set, the turtles are ready to enjoy! Store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

Tips for Success:

  • Don’t Overcook: Resist the urge to cook the chocolate on high, as it can scorch. Low and slow is the key.

  • Rolo Alternative: For an even easier version, you can use a Rolo candy in place of the unwrapped caramel.

  • Scoop Cleanly: Lightly spraying your scoop with cooking spray can help the mixture release cleanly.
