Serve turtle candies at room temperature for the best flavor and texture. Store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks. Avoid refrigerating for extended periods to prevent chocolate from blooming.
Variations:
Use walnuts or almonds instead of pecans for a different nutty flavor.
Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the chocolate before it sets for a salted caramel twist.
Substitute dark chocolate chips for semisweet for a richer taste.
FAQ:
Can I use store-bought caramel instead of making it?
Yes, but homemade caramel offers a fresher taste and better texture.
What if my caramel hardens too quickly?
Work quickly when spooning caramel onto nuts and keep the caramel warm to avoid premature hardening.
How do I prevent chocolate from melting when storing?
Store candies in a cool place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to keep chocolate intact.
