Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the pecans on the baking sheet and toast for 8-10 minutes until fragrant.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt together the butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, corn syrup, condensed milk, and vanilla extract while stirring continuously (about 6-8 minutes).
Remove from heat and fold in the toasted pecans until well coated.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment paper and allow to cool slightly before drizzling with melted chocolate.
Melt the chopped chocolate in short bursts in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth, then drizzle over each turtle.
Let the turtles set at room temperature before serving.
