Very tastey & goey. If your using a heavy bottom pot, turn the heat to medium once the sugar, milk, & syrup come to a boil. This way you dont have to stand there stirring for 20 min; I hardly stirred, and the caramel turned out goey, and delish! There...kill two birds with one stone...

These are delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfect. You must use a candy themometer to make this kind of candy..there is no guessing! The recipe didn't say to but I ended up storing them in the fridge. Mine were too soft & sticky otherwise.

These are delicious. I removed the caramel from the heat immediately when it reached 240, as directed in the recipe, and they are the perfect consistency. Not too hard, not too soft. The only thing I changed, which doesn't affect the taste, is to make them smaller - I put the pecans in clusters of 2 halves. Thanks, Emeril, for this go-to recipe!

I just made these for my husband for Valentine's Day and he loved them! A few changes were made to the recipe; substituted peanuts for pecans (his preference and put down parchment paper instead of greasing pans with butter... easy clean-up= Will definately make these again.

These turtles were pretty good overall. I can never temper chocolate correctly, but that's my deal. Also, I didn't use a candy thermometer but did have a bowl of cold water nearby while I was cooking the caramel. I let it get a little too far into the hard ball stage, so its very very chewy (like pull your cavities out chewy but still good. Next time, I'll cook the caramel less or just remember to finally get a candy thermometer!! Worth making though.

These were wonderful, the recipe was easy to follow and everyone who ate them raved. I suggest to those having troubles with the caramel to get an accurate candy thermometer. I also used Lindt bittersweet chocolate instead of chocolate chips and crisco. They were shiny and delicious!

I made these for my family last Christmas I didnt have a candy themoniter so I overcooked the caramel making it hard so hard that it would of broke someones teeth. They looked gorgeous though and would be good for a turtle photo shoot. This year I'm going to get a candy themoniter and try to make these again.

This recipe was FANTASTIC!! As long as you watch the caramel and pull it off the heat as soon as it comes to 240 degrees it will turn out soft and chewy. They take a little time to make, but they are SO worth the effort! My family loved them and I will make them again and again.

The worst ever!!! I didn't like the fact that the carmel was so hard! I almost cracked my tooth! Not worth all the work put into it!! My family was disappointed!
