Turtle Ritz Cookies - Guide Recipe
I thought these Turtle Cookies were going to be a quick and easy recipe success. The first time I made them , I used dulce de leche from a can. They were easy to make , they tasted delicious and the pictures turned out great.
But the next morning when I saw the cookies , the chocolate coating had cracked on all of them! So , I tried again and again until I thought about moving on from this recipe idea , but decided I was going to find a way to make it work…no.matter.what
And I succeeded , so today I am finally sharing my recipe for Turtle Sandwich Cookies using Ritz crackers.
Ingredients;
- 12 caramels , I used Kraft
- 2 tsp heavy whipping cream
- 22 Ritz crackers
- 4 squares chocolate almond bark
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans
- Optional: whole pecans , sea salt
Instructions;
- Place caramels and whipping cream in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds and then stir. Microwave for an additional 15 seconds and stir. Continue heating and stirring at 15-second intervals until smooth. Watch carefully so that the caramel sauce doesn’t boil over or burn.
- Allow the sauce to cool and thicken , at room temperature , for about 8-10 minutes , stirring often to keep it smooth.
- Plop about 1 teaspoon of the caramel in the center of 11 Ritz crackers.
- Top each with another cracker and squish the caramel so that it spreads out.
- Place the caramel sandwiches in the fridge for an hour for the caramel to harden.
- Melt chocolate almond bark in the microwave and dip the sandwich cookies in the chocolate.
- Place them on a silicone mat or a piece of parchment paper. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
- Allow the chocolate to set and harden at room temperature.
- Store in a sealed container in the fridge.
- Optional: Use whole pecans instead of chopped pecans. Sprinkle with sea salt , if desired.
