📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 325°F.
2
Place the pecan halves in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 5 to ⏱️ 6 minutes, shaking the pan once halfway through, until they're lightly toasted. Remove the pecans after they're toasted and put them on a plate to cool.

3
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Arrange the pretzels neatly on the pan, then top each pretzel with an unwrapped caramel. Place the pan into the oven for 4 to ⏱️ 5 minutes, or until the caramels are softened (but definitely not melting). Remove the pan from the oven.
4
Gently press a pecan half onto each caramel, just enough for the caramel to fill the pretzel. Set them aside to cool completely.
5
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate. When the pretzel/caramels are cooled, remove them from the baking sheet. Spoon small dollops (1 1/2 teaspoon helpings) of chocolate all over the baking mat, then lightly drop each pretzel onto the middle of each dollop, making sure they're centered.
6
Allow them to cool completely before serving (you can hasten this along in the fridge).
7
Variation: Spoon a little melted chocolate all over the tops of the turtles to cover the whole thing in chocolate.
