I’ve seen turtles made many different ways in the candy industry. Slabbing, small cups, depositing on warm nuts, using liquid caramel..it’s really company specific. This oven method is the best way to make turtles at home. You can make a lot or a little at once and they come out beautifully.
This week I’m going to show you one caramel recipe used three different ways. Super easy holiday gifts, you can make it once and have three yummy items.
This is a one pot caramel cooking method. Everything goes in, caramel comes out.
I used the great value @walmart oil roasted salted cashews. 30 ounces for $13! Great quality and price.
