How To:
Remove wrappers from caramels and place in saucepan with 2 tbsp water

Some of them will run but that's OK..
you can fix it later

one you have all of your caramel and cashew clumps on you cookie sheets
refrigerate for at least 30min to 1hr
right before pulling out you caramel bits, melt your chocolate
After removing the caramels from the fridge
you should be able to lift them off the sheet

(they soften as they warm up)

store the turtles in an airtight container.
If your house tends to be excessively warm i suggest you keep these in the fridge

  1. My husband loves cashews (I'm more of a peanut girl) and I bet he'd flip if I made him these. They look great!

    Also I just read 1/2 your blog and you have a new follower. Love it!
