Lazy Turtle Tart
Embrace queen-bee status once you arrive to the party with our recipe for lazy turtle tart. You’ll watch everyone hover around the buffet table like a pack of hungry wolves until every last crumb is devoured.
You only need three ingredients: pretzels, chocolate-covered caramel candies and pecans. And for goodness’ sake, the most difficult part of making this recipe is unwrapping all the candies. We could barely control ourselves during the taste-test process. The staff just lingered around the pan negotiating (okay, arguing) over who deserved the last piece.
For superb results when making our lazy turtle tart, make sure to break the pretzels into small pieces, but not so small that they’re crumb-like. You’ll want them small enough to cover the bottom of the tart pan, but not so small they won’t adhere to the melted candies.
