Easy Crockpot Turtles

A fast, foolproof candy recipe – makes about 24 pieces!
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Inactive Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 20 oz almond bark, broken into pieces
• 1 (12 oz) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 6 oz milk chocolate chips
• 1 bag Kraft caramels (the individually wrapped cube kind)
• 4 cups pecans

Instructions

1. Melt the chocolate:
   Add the almond bark and both types of chocolate chips to your slow cooker. Cook on LOW for about 1 hour, or until fully melted. Stir occasionally if needed.
2. Add pecans:
   Stir in the pecans and cook for an additional 15 minutes so they’re fully coated.
3. Prepare the tins:
   Line two muffin tins with paper cupcake liners. Place one unwrapped caramel (or a Rolo) in the center of each liner.
4. Scoop the mixture:
   Using a cookie scoop or small ice-cream scoop, spoon about ¼ cup of the warm chocolate-pecan mixture over each caramel.
5. Let them set:
   Allow the turtles to cool and harden at room temperature. To speed things up, place the muffin tins in the refrigerator.
6. Store:
   Keep the turtles in an airtight container in a cool spot.
