Peanut Butter Pecan Turtle Candy Recipe-Step by Step Guide

• Using wax paper or parchment paper, line a large baking sheet with the ingredient.
• Not to worry if you don’t have either of these things.

• It is possible that the homemade turtle candies will not adhere very well, which means that you can skip the paper liner if you so choose.
• Peanut butter, powdered sugar, and coconut oil are the ingredients that should be added to a small bowl and mixed together until a thick peanut butter dough that can be moulded results.

• Because it has been chilling in the refrigerator, your peanut butter may not be at room temperature.
• If this is the case, you can microwave it for thirty seconds, or until it becomes easy to stir.

• Note: If you have access to a stand mixer, it is recommended that you use it rather than mixing the peanut butter and sugar by hand. This will save you time and effort.
• After the baking sheet has been prepared, arrange five raw pecan halves in the shape of a turtle on the sheet.

• Continue in the same manner with the remaining pecans, making sure to maintain the turtle pecan clusters in a single layer.
• Applying pressure, form approximately one to one and a half tablespoons of the peanut butter mixture into the shape of an oval or shell and press it onto the pecans.

• If you want the pecans to remain in place, you need to make sure that you press them firmly into the peanut butter.
• Reposition the turtle so that it is facing the baking sheet. Proceed with the remaining peanut butter and pecans; repeat the process.

• Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil (or butter) in a bowl that is safe for use in the microwave.
• Heat the mixture at intervals of thirty seconds, stirring thoroughly in between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted, which should take approximately one to one and a half minutes.

• The chocolate does not need to be heated in the microwave until it reaches a very runny consistency.
• The chocolate mixture should be fairly thick and spoonable, but it should not be too runny.

• This is the desired consistency. In the event that you feel the need to let the chocolate cool down for a few minutes in order for it to become slightly more thick, you are free to do so.
• The peanut butter layer should be covered with approximately one tablespoon of melted chocolate, which will result in the formation of a chocolate turtle shell.

• There is the option of embellishing the shell with additional pecans or a sprinkling of sea salt, if desired.
• Chill the entire baking sheet in the refrigerator or freezer until it has reached the desired consistency, which should take about two hours.
• Serve, and take pleasure in it!

Notes

• Instead of powdered sugar, use five tablespoons of coconut sugar, and leave out the oil. This will result in a substitute that is lower in sugar and does not contain refined sugar.
• After the mixture has been mixed, place it in the refrigerator for fifteen minutes. It is recommended that you freeze the turtles after you have prepared them because this mixture will be sticky. This will allow the turtles to set up.For a vegan alternative, you can use chocolate chips that do not contain dairy products. Additionally, you can substitute coconut oil for butter when making the chocolate coating and the peanut butter mixture.

• If you want to keep pecan turtle candy fresh for up to a week, you can store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container or in a zip lock bag.
• In order to create a chocolate magic shell for ice cream, you can use any leftover chocolate to drizzle it on top of the ice cream.
