Easy Homemade Turtles Candy Recipe with Pecans and Caramel | Candy | The Southern Mountain Kitchen

[@denisehamernik806]

Before you portion out the turtles onto the parchment, put the sheet into the freezer for a few minutes and the candy won’t spread out so easily. They look delicious 😋

[@thesouthernmountainkitchen]

Thanks for the tip! 😀

[@jilliewillie8720]

Good tip! Thanks

[@barbarabeckley8732]

Thanks

[@wandaparker3681]

Yes. Thank you.😊

[@lorraineingalls64]

Use non-stick spray before putting corn syrup, sweetened condensed milk, or honey into any container. It won't stick to the container.

[@thesouthernmountainkitchen]

Thanks very much, I will try that. And thanks for watching. Best Wishes

[@dianeshea4192]

That's what I always do, it works very well.

[@angelpatrick5559]

That's what I always do if I'm using corn syrup, honey or condensed milk!

[@brianboe3774]

Use bacon grease instead of the evil spray hahaha

My local bakery makes giant turtles in milk chocolate and now dark chocolate! I'm telling you the truth they are about the size of the palm of your hand, and soooo delicious. Now I can make my own and I don't have to pay $2.50 for one giant turtle, Thank you!

[@thesouthernmountainkitchen]

You are very welcome. I know buying these pre-made is expensive. That's why I started making my own. Besides, homemade is better. Best Wishes and Happy Holidays!

[@shawnlee220]

I love turtles and never once did I ever think about making them instead of buying them😂 thank you for this❤

[@thesouthernmountainkitchen]

You are very welcome!

Homemade "TURTLES"!!! My absolute favorite of all snacks. Having a Peacon tree right outside my door means I won't even have to buy the main ingredient. How blessed am I... 😊

[@thesouthernmountainkitchen]

They are my favorite too! 😀

[@youwish378]

You are blessed A very small bag of crushed pecans at my Kroger's is a whopping 7 dollars ! I love pecans but so expensive 😭 lol

[@U.B.T.]

@youwish378 They're lying everywhere around my tree. If you lived near me, I'd let you pick or pickup all the peacons you'd like for FREE! 😊.

[@youwish378]

@@U.B.T. Lol that would be sweet of you ❤️ !

[@kimberlyleavens6573]

Okay pecan tree I am sooo jealous 😜

[@loolver5209]

Thank you! These and See's butterscotch squares are my fave. I've recently used a copycat recipe for butterscotch squares a couple of times and they turned out great. I had no clue that these would be so simple to make. Easier than butterscotch squares. I used to always buy pecan delights from the grocery store and was always in love with them. Over 10 years ago however they stopped being supplied to grocery stores in my area of Southern California other than the sugar free version. I have no clue why. Now I can make them myself which is better anyway!

[@JILL0704USA]

Perfect addition to holiday candies! Looks delicious.

[@thesouthernmountainkitchen]

Yeah, these are so good. Thanks for watching. Best Wishes!

[@cden409]

I love turtles. My sister in law bakes a lot, she may like this video. I would like to make them for our Christmas treat baskets.

[@thesouthernmountainkitchen]

They just remind me of Christmas. My family shares them when everyone is cooking. Best Wishes!

[@christinemalaka8636]

These look great. Turtles used to b a fave....essential at Christmas.....but store-bought turtles aren't at all what they used to b now that they use palm oil. Not to mention palm oil is causing animals to be wiped out. I dont buy them. Ill b making these for Christmas presents....incl to myself :) Thanks!

[@thesouthernmountainkitchen]

Store-bought is expensive and not so great anymore. I like to make things at home. Then I know what goes into it, lol Thanks for watching, and Best Wishes 😀

[@barbarabeckley8732]

So true, I am sure these will taste so much better. Enjoy

[@JV-bq8jz]

Do you use milk chocolate? What kind did you use?

[@sandyhossman7771]
