Add caramels and cream (if using).
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and creamy (~1.5–2 mins total).
Or, on the stovetop:
Melt in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
✅ Keep warm—caramel hardens quickly as it cools.
3. Assemble the Turtles
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Arrange 3–4 pecan halves per cluster in a circular shape—like a turtle’s legs and shell.
Spoon 1 tbsp melted caramel over each cluster, covering the center and holding the nuts together.
Let set 10–15 minutes until firm but not hard.
✅ Work in batches—don’t let caramel cool too much.
4. Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl:
Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using).
Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until glossy and smooth.
Or use a double boiler:
Heat over simmering water, stirring gently until melted.
✅ Stir frequently—chocolate burns easily.
5. Coat with Chocolate
