  • 2 cups pecans

  • 12 pitted dates

  • 1/4 cup water

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

  • Maldon sea salt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 and toast pecans in a baking tray for 6-8 mins.

  2. While those are baking soak dates in some water to soften and then blend in blender or food processor with a bit of water and vanilla until paste “caramel” forms.

  3. Melt chocolate in microwave safe bowl (about 1 minute).
    To assemble form turtles using 3-4 pecans (create a flower like shape - doesn’t have to be perfect!) top with a teaspoonful of caramel and cover with chocolate (again doesn’t have to be perfect - just try to cover all the caramel with choc).

  4. Sprinkle with sea salt. Refrigerate and enjoy! Keep in fridge for up to a week.
