Tips:
- Use a good quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the turtles will taste.
- Be careful not to overcook the caramel. If the caramel gets too dark, it will be bitter.
- Let the turtles cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
- Store the turtles in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to two weeks.
- Get creative with your toppings. You can use chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even crushed candy bars.
