Ooey gooey can’t-believe-they’re-pareve “Turtles” (we ate them, so I can’t show you what they look like). Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 can (14oz?) unsweetened coconut milk (don’t try with low fat or all-cream or any other variation)
- 3/4 cups (packed) sugar (I used white; it calls for golden brown)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (it calls for coarse kosher salt) That’s the caramel. You’ll also need, for finishing the Turtles:
- 24-30 pecan halves, toasted
- 1/2 bag chocolate chips Preparation
