Updated March 26, 2019 Chocolate calories don’t count during Valentine’s Day week…or should we go with month:) I’m going with month because I still have Chocolate Turtle Cookies sitting on my counter and a box of chocolates to eat. I probably won’t eat the box of chocolates though. I will take a bite out of every one:) My dad used to bring home a giant box of chocolates for Valentine’s Day every year, for my brother, sister, and I to share. I wanted to make sure I got the first pick, so I would sneak the box into my room and take a bite out of every single chocolate. My brother and sister would get so mad at me. They didn’t want to eat the chocolates after I had nibbled on them. I never would eat the entire box, I just wanted a little taste of all of them:) I can’t just take a bite of these Chocolate Turtle Cookies. One bite leads to another and another. Cookies are my weakness…or should I say strength:)
These cookies are rich, rich, rich! Chocolate dough with chocolate chips, pecans, and a caramel bits. Do I even need to say anything else? Yes, I do, because I didn’t stop there. I drizzled the cookies with salted caramel sauce. Can I get an Amen? I used our favorite homemade salted caramel sauce, but you can use store bought caramel sauce if you are in a pinch.
I enjoy a turtle candies, but these Chocolate Turtle Cookies blow the candies out of the water. In my cookie obsessed opinion:) You can give your Valentine a box of chocolates, but they might just take a bite of every chocolate and let the rest go to waste. Instead, make them a batch of Chocolate Turtle Cookies. I doubt there will be any cookies left…not even a crumb!
