Why You'll Love These Clean Chocolate Turtles

Dates are nature's caramel, providing a rich, sweet chewiness that perfectly mimics traditional caramel while offering natural fiber and nutrients. When paired with heart-healthy pecans and our DÄT Simply Dark Chocolate, you get a treat that not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also provides sustained energy without the typical sugar crash.

Ingredients:

3-5 Pecan halves 

10 Pitted dates

1 DÄT Simply Dark Chocolate bar sweetened with Dates

Sea salt


Directions:

-Flatten dates onto parchment sheet

-Add 3-5 pecans on each date

-Drizzle your melted dark chocolate on top and finish with sea salt

-Pop in the fridge or freezer until chocolate sets.

Pro Tips for Perfect Turtles:

Choose soft, fresh dates for the best caramel-like texture

Warm the dates slightly if they're too firm to flatten

Arrange pecans in a star pattern for that classic turtle look

Add the sea salt while the chocolate is still wet for better adherence

Storage Tips:

Store your finished turtles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or in the freezer for up to three months. They're delicious straight from the fridge or at room temperature – just note that they'll soften slightly when left out.

This simple recipe proves that clean eating doesn't mean giving up your favorite treats. By using wholesome ingredients like dates, pecans, and clean dark chocolate, you can enjoy a classic candy with benefits that go beyond just great taste.
