Turtle Eater.

Everyone gather round! (Except for Nathan... sorry buddy.) I have found out what it means when they say "turtle" in reference to dessert items! Look! Look! Look!

Caramel chocolate turtles

In essence, a turtle is a bunch of pecan nuts, coated in chewy caramel, and topped with a layer of chocolate. Turtles are trademarked by the DeMets Candy Company, but that's not gonna stop us.

In any case, the base ingredients (pecans, caramel and chocolate) form an unbelievably delicious combination that can be adapted to any number of dessert items.

If you're angry with me for making you crave these unbelievable treats, and now you feel like you have to go out and buy a Mars bar or something to console yourself, just scroll through the rest of these pictures. They are so pornographic and oozy they will make you feel sick. Then you won't be hungry anymore!
