Homemade Turtle Candies Recipe

• Sea salt, to garnish

Directions

1. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.

3. In a microwave safe bowl, melt the caramels in 30 second increments until completely melted and smooth.
4. Add about 1 Tablespoon of the melted caramel on top of each pile of pecans. Be sure to cover every pecan piece so they will
   stick together.
