Mixed-Up Caramel Turtles are so deliciously addicting, you won’t be able to stop at just one!
First things first:
- I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with their families! I know I did.
- If you were crazy brave enough to face the crowds for Black Friday shopping, I hope you made it out unscathed!
- After preparing for this holiday weekend and shopping, you’re probably ready for a break!
I have just the treat.
These babies will light up your world!
No, seriously. They.are.that.good.
In fact, I made them on Wednesday, but it was too late for photos {lighting issues}. And of course I was busy cooking all morning and half the afternoon, so by the time I was able to photograph them, they were more than half gone!
And after I finished photographing them, my Dad took half of what was left! Everyone else took care of the rest.
I got one. ONE.
And that was only because I took a bite out of it for the photo. {I guess it pays for people to think you have cooties}
Do yourself a favor, take a few minutes to make some for yourself. After a long holiday weekend like this, you’re gonna need it!
