No Bake Turtle Tarts

Just because it's summer does't mean the end to sweet treats, I simply find ways to make things without the oven. I have been making this No bake turtle tart for about 10 years and everyone loves it, especially me because it is so easy and looks great. It is a great addition to the dessert table at any party or bbq.

No Bake Turtle Tart(s)

1/2 cups pecans toasted and chopped

1 chocolate crumb crust either purchased or made homemade

1 bag caramels (34 unwrapped)

1/2 cup evaporated milk

11/2 cups chocolate chips

1 cup heavy cream

3 Tablespoons butter

Garnish, chopped nuts, berries or whipped cream.

Place pecans on the purchase or crust that you made. Then heat the caramels and the evaporated milk over low heat, until melted and smooth. Pour over pecans. Heat cream, chocolate chips and butter in a pan over low heat until melted and smooth. Pour over caramel layer. Refrigerate 4 hours. Top with whipped cream and berries if you wish or just more chopped nuts.

NOTE: The original recipe is for 1 9inch pie. I made one pie and used a little of the ingredients to make these 3 little tarts.

Enjoy.
