WHITE CHOCOLATE TURTLES

Category: Candy

3 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup and heavy cream
1 1/2 tbsp butter
1 1/2 cups toasted whole pecans
3 oz milk chocolate
1 tsp vanilla extract
Tempered white chocolate

In a saucepan, combine first 5 ingredients together and stir over high heat until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the milk chocolate and boil slowly to the firm ball stage, 248 degrees. Stir in the vanilla.

Using a wooden spoon, drop about a tbsp for each candy onto parchment-lined baking sheet. Let the caramels cool and set, about 5 minutes.

Using a candy dipping fork, dip each caramel into the tempered chocolate. Place them back on the parchment and allow to set, about 5 minutes. Store into an airtight container between sheets of parchment paper.
