6 oz. Royal Blue Candy Melts

6 oz. Dark Chocolate Candy Melts
3 oz. White Candy Melts
1/8 cup Caramel Sundae Sauce
1/2 cup Whole Pecans
1/2 cup Whole Walnuts
Silicone Mat or Parchment Paper
1/4 Measuring Spoon
Disposable Measuring Spoon

The Quest!

Arrange your nuts in a star pattern on a silicone mat or parchment paper.

In a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate candy melts until just melted.

Spoon the chocolate over the arranged nuts to create the base of the candy. Let set up for a few minutes.

Taking the hot water from the double boiler, dip a 1/4 teaspoon into the hot water to warm the spoon and scoop out a ball of caramel sauce. Place the caramel ball onto each of the candies and let the chocolate set up completely.

Melt the royal blue candy melts in a double boiler until just melted. Spoon over the turtles to form the shell of the turtle. Let set up completely.

In a disposable icing bag, add the white melting candies. Place on a paper plate and microwave for a minute. Note: I checked mine every 30 seconds and still ended up with a small hole melted into the bag. Candy will be hot, so caution.

Snip off the very end of the bag and pipe a ring around the edge of each turtle.

Once this is completed, use any remaining to create designs on the shell. Let set up before serving.

About Us!

The Legend of Zelda is by far my favorite video game. You could say that I am obsessed. Even hearing music from the game (even if I am the one humming it) makes me want to go home and play. I also enjoy cooking but was diagnosed with Celiac in 2014. This blog has become a great way for me to try new things with my new eating habits along with sharing my love for the Legend of Zelda. I hope you enjoy the blog and even try making some of my creations for you family and friends. Welcome to the Zelda Gourmet!! Enjoy! BTW ... Sad as it may seem - I don't own the Legend of Zelda :(
