Spoon a generous dollop of warm caramel onto the center of each pecan cluster — this forms the “body” of the turtle.
Smooth slightly with the back of your spoon.
Let the caramel set until firm, or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to speed up the process.
Step 4: Add the Chocolate Shell
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
Spoon the melted chocolate over each caramel-covered cluster, letting it drip down the sides.
Optional: Press an extra pecan half on top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt while the chocolate is still soft.
Step 5: Set to Perfection
Allow the turtles to set completely at room temperature (1–2 hours) or refrigerate for 20–30 minutes for faster setting.
Once firm, peel them off the parchment paper and enjoy!
