• In a heatproof bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter together. You can do this in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, or use a double boiler to melt them gently.

• Once melted, stir until smooth and glossy.
• Assemble the Turtle Clusters:
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
  • Place about 4-5 pecans on the sheet, grouping them closely together.
  • Spoon a small amount of the warm caramel sauce over the pecans, just enough to cover them.
  • Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel-covered pecans and smooth it out to form a cluster.
  • Repeat with the rest of the pecans, caramel, and chocolate.
• Chill the Clusters:
  • Refrigerate the clusters for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened.
• Serve and Enjoy:
  • Once set, your Chocolate Pecan Turtle Clusters are ready to be enjoyed! You can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.

These are rich, decadent, and sure to satisfy your sweet cravings. Would you like any tips on making them even more special?
