Ingredients:

    • 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
    • 1 1/2 cups semisweet or milk chocolate chips (or a combination of both)
    • 1 tablespoon butter (for the chocolate coating)

    • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
    • 1/4 cup heavy cream
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Caramel (Optional, for Homemade Caramel Sauce):

  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Allow the mixture to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Then, carefully add the heavy cream while stirring continuously. Keep simmering for another 3-4 minutes until the caramel thickens and becomes smooth.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Set the caramel sauce aside to cool slightly before using it in the turtle candies.
