Ingredients

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Arrange pecan halves on the parchment paper in clusters, forming the base of each turtle.
  • Spoon a small amount of caramel over each cluster of pecans, ensuring that each pecan is coated.
  • Place the baking sheet in the fridge to cool for 30 minutes to allow the caramel to set slightly.
  • In the meantime, melt the sugar-free dark chocolate with the coconut oil either in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth.
  • Once the caramel has set, spoon a dollop of melted chocolate over each cluster, covering the caramel and pecans.
  • Use a spoon or spatula to smooth out the chocolate and create a rounded shape resembling a turtle shell.
  • Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Once set, your keto turtles candies are ready to enjoy!
