PECANS:
- They contain high-fat and low-carb content by nature. Add the regular crispy taste to the turtle candy. You can replace pecans with macadamia or walnuts.
COCONUT OIL:
- This component helps in the proper melting of the chocolate and makes sure that it sets properly in the dish. Utilize butter instead, but it will become softer when melted at a neutral temperature.
