Make Your Own Turtles - Tempering Chocolate Revisited

[@annieb.6578]

My mama absolutely loves pecan turtles! I remember still being in elementary school and seeing her face light up at Christmas with my father bought her some. I’m going to make her these and send them to her in Texas this Christmas

[@src5769]

I saw where someone toasted pecans before they used them, and also added a tablespoon of coconut oil to the chocolate to give it a sheen. Just some ideas. Thanks for the video!

[@ICookAndPaint]

I love those ideas :) I will definitely toast the nuts next time :)

[@Cutthecamerasdeadass1899]

Before you use the chocolate for the turtles when you temper, do a small swatch on a piece of parchment first so you won't accidentally use bloomed chocolate. I worked at a chocolate shop before and we handmade turtles.

[@ICookAndPaint]

That’s a great tip, thank you! :)

[@bwilliams3040]

I made these turtles this past Christmas and last year too. They are such a hit. Sooo much better than the bought ones. I used Werther’s caramels. Worked and tasted wonderfully. Easy candy to make as a gift. I highly recommend this recipe. So easy and quick to make. Thanks for sharing!

[@ICookAndPaint]

I am so happy to hear this...thank you!! 😀

[@paulahampton8090]

[@motorcitykitty700]

Yummy! What a great way to do a mash up of two former videos - your caramel recipe in conjunction with your chocolate tempering instructions --- just add nuts!!! :D

[@ICookAndPaint]

+Kat Russell Hahaha--that's right! It's also a great way to avoid wrapping each one of those caramels ;)

Thanks and Blessings!!!

[@Claytontk]

This doesn’t work with Kraft storebought caramels. I had to toss 36 of these because the caramel sets to hard to bite into. I will try again with a softer caramel.

[@ICookAndPaint]

Sorry they did not turn out, hope you had success

[@conniehorn8988]

Try Werther's they do great melt them and add a couple of teaspoon of Walter as you melt them

[@oneitalia2312]

Mmmmmmm......nice job!

When you use the nuts for the chocolate turtles, am I able to use any kind nuts or is there a certain kind of nut that I need to use?

[@ICookAndPaint]

You can use any kind you like :)
