    I'd lost my recipe from last year, so I thought I'd try Emeril's out since they seemed to be similar. These look beautiful, and tempering the chocolate really helps give them a shine. My one piece of advice is to watch the carmel carefully at the end...the temperature doesn't rise for the longest time, then all of a sudden it's time to pull it off! A+ to Emeril...and to think, I was feeling a little sketchy about his candies!

    I never made candy or fudge before. I tried this recipe after watching the show, and the turtles turned out great. Feeling confident, I tried making the fudge from the same show and it turned out horrible.

    Very Rich and good. The first time I made them they were really gooy on the bottom. The second time I put chocolate bases first then the caramel.

    Great flavor, horrible recipe. Caramel was hard as rock and i was nowhere near 240 degrees. I'll buy store bought caramels and melt them next time...........an expensive recipe to mess up!

    This is not an easy recipe. My turtles did not look like turtles, (they looked like blobs and I think the caramel recipe could use more butter and was way too sweet. I tried very hard to spoon the caramel over the arranged nuts, which is very time consuming.Halfway through I ended up having to put the caramel on the stove again to re-heat.My chocolate is still gooey so I am guessing I did not properly temper it.The taste was just O.K. for all the work. I will stick with my famous nut roca which has more butter flavor and is much easier.

    I had so much trouble with the caramel that I bought a new thermometer, and they came out exactly the same. The caramel finished too hard. I think 240 is too hot, will try 235, and then 230. I had a horrible time tempering the chocolate, so on the third batch I just nuked the chocolate with a little shortening in the microwave, kept stirring until it was smooth, and dumped it right on the turtles. No more streaks in the chocolate. Looks to me like "tempering" the chocolate actually caused the problem. Three batches later, perfect chocolate every time. Maybe the brand of chocolate I used made the difference: Ghirardelli semi-sweet morsels. But I must stay, once adjustments made, I ditched my old recipies for this candy. This is fabulous.

    I watched Emeril make these and I was so excited to try my hand at them. They were wonderful - the people at work have asked me repeatedly to make them again!

    I over-cooked the caramel for these, so they came out rock-hard. Next time I'll be more careful with it. Otherwise, the taste was right on.
