Carmel, pecans and fudge -Oh MY!! To really make this insane, go ahead and toast those pecans just a smidge. It will bring out their intense flavor and will really make this fudge extra special. I also finished mine off with some sea salt because, well caramel and salt-you know! Hope you love this one as much as we did!!

I may die if I make this Turtle Fudge and eat it–the day after I tried on clothes from my closet to see what doesn’t fit and deciding to lower my serving sizes and start walking again (after 2 yrs of back surgeries, etc.). Diets do not work for me–I try to live in the real world. WHY do you do this! That’s not really a question, you’ll notice (no question mark–I’m a retired English teacher!).
But, I probably will make it–has everything I really love. I’ll see about using dark chocolate, which I love. And my husband doesn’t like nuts in anything, so he won’t eat any of this!
But turtles are the best, and 1 a day should satisfy me. I THINK I can do that! LOL
Thanks for such a luscious recipe!
