Turtle candy is a delicious confection that can be made at home with only a few ingredients.
This is inspired candy and has all the flavors of turtle candy with more pecans. No, they do not look like turtles, but they taste better than them!
Prep Time: 15 Min
Pecan Butter Light brown sugar Light corn syrup Salt Vanilla extract
Active Time: 1 hour
You do need a candy thermometer because too low of a temp will result in runny caramel and too high will make caramel that cannot be bitten into (like glass).
