Why buy turtle candy when you can make it yourself? Homemade turtles require just 5 ingredients!  This wonderful homemade candy features pecans and caramel dipped in your favorite chocolate. I used milk chocolate but dark chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate or even white chocolate would be delicious!  These turtles are a fantastic addition to your holiday cookie trays or homemade gifts!
