When I was a little girl we would go to my grandparents apartment and if we were really lucky there would be a box of Turtles (Christmas time). I remember vividly, eating a turtle with peanuts and thinking it was the best thing I’d ever had in my whole young life. I remember some time later having one with pecans and my young tastebuds didn’t love the pecans. Well my big girl taste buds wanted to create a healthy version with BOTH. Don’t know about you but my favourite chocolate is always the nut cluster. I am a huge fan of the sweet and salty combo and these hit all the notes.
These healthy turtles are pure heaven and would make for a lovely addition to your Christmas cookie box🎄 I finish these with good flaky sea salt. It is optional but I wouldn’t skip this step. The salt makes the chocolate pop.
These little babies take me right back to the fond memories of my grandparents’ little cigarette smoke filled apartment only better. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

I have a cashew allergy in my family. What would you use as a substitute?
