I love turtles and never once did I ever think about making them instead of buying them😂 thank you for this❤
Use non-stick spray before putting corn syrup, sweetened condensed milk, or honey into any container. It won't stick to the container.
Thanks very much, I will try that. And thanks for watching. Best Wishes
That's what I always do if I'm using corn syrup, honey or condensed milk!
I make lots of different candies over the holidays. I am going to make these and add to my holiday candy plates, starting at Thanksgiving. They look so yummy ❤
I hope you like them! They are my favorites. Best Wishes!
I love turtles. My sister in law bakes a lot, she may like this video. I would like to make them for our Christmas treat baskets.
They just remind me of Christmas. My family shares them when everyone is cooking. Best Wishes!
These look great. Turtles used to b a fave....essential at Christmas.....but store-bought turtles aren't at all what they used to b now that they use palm oil. Not to mention palm oil is causing animals to be wiped out. I dont buy them. Ill b making these for Christmas presents....incl to myself :) Thanks!
Store-bought is expensive and not so great anymore. I like to make things at home. Then I know what goes into it, lol Thanks for watching, and Best Wishes 😀
Perfect addition to holiday candies! Looks delicious.
Yeah, these are so good. Thanks for watching. Best Wishes!
Love TURTLES they are so expensive now maybe homemade can help with that Thank You for sharing your recipe 🙂
There is nothing better than making these homemade. Turtles are my favorite. I hope you enjoy them. Best Wishes and Thanks for watching
I have two bags of pecans in the freezer that I got from the food pantry, and some corn syrup I haven't used in years. Guess I got some work to do. 😂
Thank you. I have been looking for a simple easy recipe for turtle chocolate. 👍
This looks so good! This used to be my favorite candy! I remember our church ladies sold them in cans for fundraisers. Please excuse me, I am drooling right now!🤪I must try this! It's been 40 years!
Yes, they are worth drooling over. They are my favorite candy., and are so good.
Great instructions!!!!!!!!! LOVE USING MICROWAVE!!!!!
Thank you! These and See's butterscotch squares are my fave. I've recently used a copycat recipe for butterscotch squares a couple of times and they turned out great. I had no clue that these would be so simple to make. Easier than butterscotch squares. I used to always buy pecan delights from the grocery store and was always in love with them. Over 10 years ago however they stopped being supplied to grocery stores in my area of Southern California other than the sugar free version. I have no clue why. Now I can make them myself which is better anyway!
Homemade "TURTLES"!!! My absolute favorite of all snacks. Having a Peacon tree right outside my door means I won't even have to buy the main ingredient. How blessed am I... 😊
You are blessed
A very small bag of crushed pecans at my Kroger's is a whopping 7 dollars !
I love pecans but so expensive 😭 lol
@youwish378 They're lying everywhere around my tree. If you lived near me, I'd let you pick or pickup all the peacons you'd like for FREE! 😊.
These Turtle candies look delicious! I will have to make them! Thanks.
Wow our family members used to sell those chocolate turtles in the cans back in the days for about $40.00 a can 😂😂 thank you for sharing looks very delicious!
Very simple. I didn''t know it would be this easy. Thanks so much for the recipe and instructions.
I’VE NOT HEARD OF THEM BEFORE BUT THEY LOOK SO DELICIOUS, A LITTLE BIT OF ALL MY FAVES, I CAN’T WAIT TO TRY THESE. 😋
These are so good, I am sure you will like them. Always been a favorite of mine.
Yummy. I love turtles. You make it very easy to prepare them. Great video.
Thank you for sharing this delicious looking recipe! MY FAVORITE snack!! I will definitely be making these.
You are very welcome. These are one of my favorites for the holidays. Thanks for watching. Best Wishes!
I love chocolate turtles and they are expensive in the candy store. I didn't know they were this easy to make. I am going to make some for the holidays. A box of homemade turtles would make a neat family Xmas gift. ❤🎄🎅🏿❤
My local bakery makes giant turtles in milk chocolate and now dark chocolate! I'm telling you the truth they are about the size of the palm of your hand, and soooo delicious. Now I can make my own and I don't have to pay $2.50 for one giant turtle, Thank you!
You are very welcome. I know buying these pre-made is expensive. That's why I started making my own. Besides, homemade is better. Best Wishes and Happy Holidays!
these look absolutely yummy..and I'm sure they are...thank you for this super recipe...I always did love turtles, but hell, they are so expensive per pound at the candy shops...thanks again...I will try these
This is great! I'm not a candy person but this is my favorite! Caramel is my downfall. I'm going to give these a try! Thank you!
I love turtle candy. Will have to make it. 😊
I love it too. Only problem is when I make it, everybody eats it before I can get more.
I will be trying that easy candy recipe because candy like that cost a lot of money in store, but homemade 😊 taste better
Thanks
Surprised of how easy
Yes, they are and they are so good. Thanks for watching! Best Wishes
Thank you for sharing this marvelous turtle candy recipe. The tutorial is very clear and quite easy to follow. I am excited to prepare these for my family this season. Happy holidays. 🎄
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching. Best Wishes and Happy Holidays 🎄
I know what i am going to do with all our Virginia Black Walnuts, this year! I know they will be delicious! Thank you for sharing! ❤
I love black walnuts. We used to get them when I was younger. What a cool idea for Turtles. Best Wishes!
@thesouthernmountainkitchen my dad brought some black walnut trees (sapplings) from Virginia to Washington State. He did this many, many years ago. Every year, I have to beat the squirrels to the black walnuts. 🥰
@@susanking9502 I am from Virginia and when I go to get the walnuts, the squirrels are all over them. But I still get a bunch
Awesome video! Always wanted to learn how to make these! Thanks!
Homemade is so much better. These have always been my favorite. Best Wishes!
😋yum yum.
Looks delicious! Thank you for sharing this beautiful recipe ❤️🙏
Wow, white sugar, brown sugar, syrup, condensed milk . Super sweet.
Very sweet but worth it. That is why I only make them for holidays
I'm going to make these!!! Can't wait
I hope you enjoy them. Best Wishes and Thanks for watching!
If ya use your butter cup for cornsyrup measuring the cornsyrup will just roll out.
Thank you! I had no idea they would be so easy to make. Merry Christmas ✝️
Mmm. Looking forward to trying this with dark chocolate.
Yes, dark chocolate is so good with these. Any way you make them, they are amazing. Best Wishes!
Fantastic
I do love these. Alway a Christmas favorite of mine. Best Wishes!
I use 2 chef's knives with the handles together when chopping that amount of nuts. It makes it go so much faster.
❤❤❤
These look delicious, but before I jump in... is there a certain temperature you are aiming for when cooking the caramel part in the microwave? Should it be bubbly? Or just trying to melt the ingredients together? TIA
Caramel cooks at 320°-350°F. So you need to cook it in bursts with a candy thermometer until you reach temp. hope that helps. Just remember all microwaves vary in temp, so some take longer or shorter.
Thank you! In the microwave as we speak! @@thesouthernmountainkitchen
I have a turtle lover at my house so i will be making them comming up soo. Thankyou❤
What a great video, I subscribed! Looking forward to seeing more videos, thanks!
Thanks for the sub! I really appreciate you watching. Best Wishes
These look delicious. I just bought $30 worth and there weren’t that many in there. I’m going to try your recipe.
The ones from the store are really expensive. I prefer the homemade ones, then you can control the size and ingredients. Best Wishes!
@@thesouthernmountainkitchen Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. Merry Christmas to you and yours. ❤️
@@Hunee- You are very welcome! Merry Christmas to you and your family too!
spray the cups with cooking spray and it is supposed to help the corn surup or whatever come out easier

Very easy recipe! Even I will be able to make these scrumptious candies 😊❤

I've made something similar in the crock pot. That's why I don't make it, we'd eat it!
My sister makes hers every year ❤ it's worth the wate yummmmm and from what I've seen on your delicious
I can't wait for these every year. Always my favorite to make for the holidays!
Before you portion out the turtles onto the parchment, put the sheet into the freezer for a few minutes and the candy won’t spread out so easily. They look delicious 😋
Thanks for the tip! 😀
Good tip! Thanks
Thanks
Yes. Thank you.😊
