Homemade Keto Turtles

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 lb of Pecan Halves

  or Cashews
• 1 cup Low Carb Sweetener

  see notes in post above
• 1 stick of Butter
• 2/3 cup Heavy Cream
• 3 cups Low Carb Chocolate Chips or Dark Chocolate Chips

Instructions

• 1 Lay a piece of parchment onto a baking sheet. Place 4 pecans together for the
  base of the turtles. You should be able to get about 2 dozen sets on a baking
  sheet.
• 2 Make the keto friendly caramel sauce – In a pot over low heat, brown the stick
  of butter slightly. Once lightly browned, stir in the low carb
  sweetener, a pinch of salt, and whisk well. Once the sweetener is dissolved,
  pour in the cream. Whisk until it forms one cohesive mixture then let it sit on
  medium-low heat and do not touch!
• 3 Allow the caramel to cook for about 6-8 minutes. Do not whisk until your remove
  it from the heat. Let it rest about 5 minutes before adding
  to the pecans. Pour about 2 tsp of caramel over the pecans and let it rest. You
  can put it into the fridge to set faster if needed.
• 4 While the caramel is setting, slowly melt the chocolate over a double boiler or
  on half power in the microwave in a glass bowl. Stir every 30
  sec to prevent burning.
• 5 Pour a few teaspoons over the top of the caramel and use a spoon
  to slightly swirl and spread the chocolate. Allow it to rest at room
  temperature to set or return it to the fridge if needed. Store in a plastic
  container for up to a week.
