Ohhh no you don’t. Don’t you dare look at me like that.
You can blame my sister for this one. She is the one who told me about these little nuggets of pure chocolate and caramel crack rock. Poor mans turtles I call these. I love me some Turtle candies. After I made these and ate, ohhh about 8 of them, I sent her a text message, and I quote…
“I.HATE.YOU”.

A word to the wise, DO NOT MAKE THESE if….

  • You have will power issues
  • You have an addictive personality
  • You are PMS’ing
  • Your significant other just broke up with you
  • Your favorite bachelor did not get a rose

So consider that your warning. Don’t come back to me when you eat all of these..call my sister at (813) 933-…..

  2. Love these! You can just put an M&M or something on top for those crazy nut haters/allergy-people, too.

  3. I LOVE these things. A friend of mine makes them every Christmas, and I’m pretty sure I put away about 20 of them in one sitting last year. Sooo delicious.

  4. Love these! I make them with Pretzel M&M’s on top since Josh is allergic to nuts. So addicting!
