Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the SunButter, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla. Mix well until smooth and combined. Cover and place in the fridge at least 2 hours to harden. 
  • While the caramel is hardening, get the pecans ready. Place parchment paper on a large sheet tray and arrange the pecan halves to form turtle legs. This will make 17 turtles with 4 pecan halves each. 
  • Once the caramel has set, scoop 1 tablespoon out and roll into a ball. Press on to the middle of the pecans and adjust them as needed. Place a small piece of pecan to make the head of the turtle. Repeat with the remaining caramel until all are finished. 
  • Melt the chocolate chips in a small bowl in 30 second increments until melted and smooth, about 1-2 minutes in the microwave. Scoop a small amount over each turtle and spread over the caramel. Place them all in the fridge to set. 
  • These are best stored in the fridge, but can be left at room temperature for a couple hours if you are serving them at a party or packing them and taking them somewhere.
