Chocolate Pecan Turtle Clusters
These indulgent homemade clusters feature toasted pecans, gooey caramel made from scratch, and a luscious milk chocolate topping. Perfect for holiday gifts, cookie trays, or sneaking from the fridge late at night. They’re easier than they look — and every bit as delicious as they sound.
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups pecan halves toasted
½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
7 oz sweetened condensed milk
½ tsp vanilla extract
12 oz milk chocolate chips
½ tsp shortening
DIRECTIONS:
Toast pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant. Cool on a plate.
Line two baking sheets with parchment and lightly spray. Arrange pecans into small clusters of 3–4 pieces each.
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly while cooking.
Attach a candy thermometer and cook until mixture reaches 235–240°F. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Quickly spoon about 1½ teaspoons of caramel over each pecan cluster. Work fast — rewarm if needed.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth.
Spoon about 1½ teaspoons of melted chocolate over each cluster. Let cool at room temp or chill briefly to set.
Store in an airtight container up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
