  • Allow to set completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to place the turtles on. They will be really easy to remove this way to serve.
  • Allow about 30 minutes for the chocolate turtles to set in the fridge. If you are in a hurry, you can chill them in the freezer.
  • These are perfect for gift giving! Place in a cellophane bag, add a gift tag and you're done!
Storage: Store crockpot turtle candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or in the freezer for up to 4 months.
