These turtle cups were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I might try using less sugar next time.

These turtle cups were easy to make and turned out great! I used a gluten-free graham cracker crust and they were still delicious.

I was disappointed with these turtle cups. The caramel was too hard and the chocolate chips didn't melt properly.

These turtle cups were a nice treat, but they were a bit too rich for my taste. I might try making them with a lighter cream cheese next time.

The turtle cups were easy to make, but they didn't turn out as I expected. The caramel was too runny and the chocolate chips didn't melt properly.

These turtle cups were easy to make and turned out great! I used dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet and they were still delicious.

I'm not a big fan of cream cheese, but these turtle cups were amazing! The combination of the chocolate, caramel, and pecans was perfect.
