Chocolate Pecan Turtle Clusters 5 Steps Ultimate Delicious

Chocolate Pecan Turtle Clusters are a delightful treat that combines the rich, buttery goodness of pecans, the gooey indulgence of caramel, and the irresistible allure of chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cup pecans
  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • Chocolate for drizzling (optional)
  • Caramel sauce (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare a Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the pecans in small clusters, each containing about 3-4 pecans.

2. Make the Caramel: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and stir constantly until the mixture bubbles and thickens into a rich caramel, about 3-4 minutes.

3. Add Caramel to Pecans: Spoon a small amount of the hot caramel over each pecan cluster, letting it set for a few minutes.

4. Drizzle with Chocolate: Melt your desired type of chocolate (milk, semi-sweet, or dark) and drizzle it over the caramel-coated pecan clusters.

5. Optional Topping: For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle the clusters with a bit of caramel sauce.

6. Set and Serve: Allow the Chocolate Pecan Turtle Clusters to cool at room temperature or refrigerate until they are firm and set. Enjoy this delectable treat!

Notes

Achieve the Perfect Caramel Consistency: Stir the butter and brown sugar constantly to prevent burning and ensure the caramel reaches the ideal thick, gooey texture.

Choose the Best Chocolate: Opt for high-quality chocolate that melts smoothly for the best drizzle. Milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate all work wonderfully.

Store Clusters Properly: Keep the Chocolate Pecan Turtle Clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for longer storage.
