PECAN TURTLES
(GLUTEN FREE, DAIRY FREE, PALEO, SUGAR FREE)
These are so much fun to make and come together in a pinch! They’re equally as fun to eat. I love making these around the holidays to bring to a party but they’re delicious year-round. I made the caramel layer just using dates and water and it was so tasty. I love dark chocolate so that is the top layer, but any type of chocolate would work here. These come together in minutes and with only a handful of ingredients. Enjoy!
