Absolutely the best turtles I have ever tasted. The caramel in these is decadent, incredibly rich & smooth, & so EASY to make. I have paid $20 a lb. for turtles that were not this good.I used aluminum foil lined cookie sheets & spray oil & the turtles came off perfectly. This honestly couldn't be easier.
This is a great recipe. The candy is amazing. Thank you for sharing
Very good. Pretty easy to make. I will be making them again for Christmas gifts this year. Only complaint is they stuck to the paper like crazy!! Will butter the paper this time per my mom's advice and we'll see how it goes!
The caramel was perfect. I can't wait to make them again.
Shoul read 3 or 4 years worth of Christmas boxes
I have made this candy for three or four Christmas gift boxes. It is the most requested of all the candies that I make
So much better than store-bought turtles!
This was a very easy recipe to follow. The taste was incredibly good. I just would like to know how to make a bottom for the turtles so that the caramel and nuts are enclosed. Even after chilling them, mine sorta fell apart when eating them because there was no bottom. I will definitely be making this again.
