More helpful tips for you.

1. While my turtles were made with Rolo candies, you can use a different kind of candy. Peanut butter cups or holiday Rolo candy could work in this recipe.
2. Other nuts that can work in this recipe include walnut halves or sliced brazil nuts.
3. If your pecan does not want to stay in place you can use a softened chocolate chip (or two) to help keep it in place.
4. Use a rimmed baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper or a baking mat. This will help make for an easier clean up and prevent sticking.
5. Add some fun elements, such as sprinkles or candy eyes, to make your turtles more interesting.
6. The turtles will be warmed up in the oven so that they chocolate can get soft enough to hold the pecan. You may need to lightly press the pecan in place.
7. Don't want to make 50 turtles? Simple adjust your ingredients amounts to suit your needs.
