Our last Valentine’s Day recipe is for the Last Minute Molly’s out there who are looking to whip up a quick and easy batch of chocolate treats for your friends/family/loved one. Warning: these salted caramel turtles are extremely addictive!

Ever since one of our dear friends, Jessica, made each of our friends a little treat bag of peppermint bark, cookies, and homemade turtles last Christmas, I have been wanting to re-create this candy. I remember eating one right after our sushi dinner as dessert once I got home, and I’ve been dreaming of them ever since I ate my last.

One of my bestest friends, Pam, also told me to veganize turtles as my next Radiant Rachels recipe; when a bff demands, you gotta deliver… so this one’s for you Pam!

Turtles you buy from the store are no where close to how delicious this version is. Not only that, but you save a ton of money, save packaging wastes, and you’ll be giving treats that are made with love and real ingredients! No high-fructose corn syrup or skimping on the pecans here.

If you make this today, you’ll still be able to share or gift this to your loved one or even just enjoy them with yourself and some friends! A lot of times, slow and steady wins the race… but you can’t win if you don’t start, so make these turtles and you can relax and just celebrate tomorrow!
