TOASTED COCONUT TOFFEE PECAN TURTLES CANDY – KETO, THM

I’m on a candy making kick. One of my mom’s favorites is pecan turtles so I wanted to try this recipe out for her. I am so happy I made homemade turtles for her. And me.

This recipe is really pretty simple. The only thing you are cooking is the toffee and then you just layer the ingredients. If you aren’t a coconut fan you can leave the coconut out but the toasted coconut flakes I use add a nice texture and flavor to the candies.

I discovered Let’s Do Organics Toasted Coconut about a month ago and I love it. It is much cheaper than the toasted coconut chips you can find in most stores lately and the only ingredient is coconut. I know I could toast my own coconut flakes but convenience is nice (and coconut flakes can burn easily).

Ingredients

• Toffee Ingredients:
• 1/2 cup Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet or my sweetener
• 1 tbsp butter
• 3 tbsp cream cheese
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp caramel extract
• Other Ingredients:
• 3.5 oz bar 85% dark chocolate
• 1/2 cup unsweetened toasted coconut flakes
• 36 toasted pecans about 1/2 cup (I toast mine at 400 for 8-10 min until golden and fragrant)
• pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

1. Combine the butter and sweetener in a small saucepan over medium low heat. Cook until light brown and thickened. Remove from the heat.
2. Stir in the extracts and cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese is thoroughly incorporated. Stir in the toasted coconut and set aside to cool and thicken.
