Bringing back memories of Christmas as a kid, when the kitchen was filled with the warmth and aroma of sweet treats, is always special. One recipe that stood out on those cookie trays was the ever-popular Crockpot Turtles. And now, I’m excited to share the recipe with you!
The best part about these Easy Crockpot Turtles is that the crockpot does all the work for you. Simply add the almond bark and chocolate chips to the crockpot, let them melt into gooey deliciousness on low heat, and then mix in some pecans (or your favorite nuts). It’s that simple!
Next, line some muffin trays with paper cups and place a luscious caramel square or a rolo candy in the center of each cup. Pour the melted chocolate-nut mixture over the caramel until it’s fully covered. Now comes the hard part – waiting for them to set. You can speed this up by placing the trays in the fridge. Once they are nice and firm, remove the paper and take a bite. Trust me, your family will love these holiday treats!
