In reply to Hemp Flower. Hello! The caramel in this recipe is not a traditional caramel so you don't need to worry about the temperature or the crystallization. You will be just fine with that step of the process and I didn't temper the chocolate either. This is a low-fuss, easy recipe that yields delicious and more nutritious results than some others you can find out there :) Enjoy!

Hi! I’m making turtles for the first time so your article is among one of the plethoras of others I’ve read to learn how to make some. I was curious about your caramel and how it didn’t crystallize! Other articles swore up and down that you can’t stir it at the beginning (only swirl the pot) to prevent crystallization and they also added the butter at the end. You did what you wanted and it turned out perfect! I’m really nervous about messing up because these are a gift for a good friend but it seems like I’d be fine doing it the way you did? Do you test the chocolate to see if it’s tempered before adding it to the candy?

These sound absolutely amazing! Caramel turtles were one of my family’s favorite treats, but when I found out I couldn’t have corn I had to give them up. Thanks for the recipe.

I have never commented on a recipe before, but I have to because THESE ARE SO GOOD. I have made them dozens of times since finding this recipe, and I have passed the recipe on to so many people who were blown away by how good they are.
I sometimes toast my pecans, but otherwise I don’t alter the recipe at all. It’s perfect.

Hi Sarah, Just tried HEALTHYISH SALTED CARAMEL TURTLES recipe & it was a huge hit w/me & family! Thx for sharing!! (Ended up w/12 oversized turtles! Guess will need to use tiny little spoons next time to make 30 servings or will just continue being a little oinker!) Cheers, Nina

In reply to steph. Steph, thanks for that variations run down on Sarah’s great recipe. I work the same way testing new options every time I try a recipe so it’s great to have an idea in advance of how some might turn out.

In reply to Mindy.

Hi Mindy,

I think the best sub for the cashew butter is tahini, or any other kind of nut / seed butter. I hope that helps!

best,
