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.😊
Thank you! You just made my favorite candy of all time!
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching!
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, it works very well.
That's what I always do if I'm using corn syrup, honey or condensed milk!
Use bacon grease instead of the evil spray hahaha
❤
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 😀
So true, I am sure these will taste so much better. Enjoy
I love turtles and never once did I ever think about making them instead of buying them😂 thank you for this❤
You are very welcome!
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!
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!

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. 😂

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... 😊
They are my favorite too! 😀
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! 😊.
@@U.B.T. Lol that would be sweet of you ❤️ !
These look so delicious. Yum
Thank you 😋
Looks delicious!!

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!
i really like this recipe and idea. ty
Thanks!
Thankyou!😊❤
You are very welcome! 😃
Looks delicious 😋
Thank You. Best Wishes!

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
These look Amazing and can't wait to try them 😍

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!

Thanks❤
You are very welcome!
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
@@annamariemangili4869 You are very welcome.
If ya use your butter cup for cornsyrup measuring the cornsyrup will just roll out.

NEW SUBSCRIBER!! HELLO FROM MISSISSIPPI
Hello, so good to hear from you. I hope you find some videos you like to watch. 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.
Cool. Thanks for watching!
How many does this amount make? I'm dosing mushroom turtles...
Depending on how big you make them, you can make between 15 to 20
thank you. have been trying to find this in the american shop here in uk but nope ,so will now make it
Hope you like it! Best Wishes
@The Southern Mountain Kitchen just looked your cook book up soon as payday arrives I'm getting it I wanna try peacan pie!! Please open a restaurant in the uk your recipes look so good

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!
