Easy to Make Pecan Turtles
You should only make as many as you are willing to eat or quickly give away. These are addictive and delicious otherwise.
I found that putting them in the refrigerator after making them allowed them to set up quickly. You can then make the next batch.
These cost a lot less than purchasing them and would be pretty in a glass jar or a storage container with a bow on top! Package them with our candied pecans and almonds.
