Turtle Candy

This turtle candy actually was more like Turtle Candy Fudge. It was AWESOME, but it wasn't anything like a little caramelly turtle...

4.5 c sugar
12 oz condensed sweeted 2% milk
1/2 cup milk (any kind will do)
3/4 stick butter
2.5 cups pecans
2 cups small marshmallows
1 pkg (or 2 c) of chocolate chips
Wax Paper or (I prefer cupcake papers )


combine sugar, condensed milk, regular milk and butter into large cookpan. This seems to bubble up and the heat it contains will require you to have a larger cookpan... Or it will bubble over your stove. Cook on medium High heat until it comes to a slight boil. Turn the heat down and cook on med for 7 minutes. Don't overcook.

While cooking the milk mix, put the pecans, marshmallos and chocolate into a big glass bowl.

Combine the boiling hot milk mix with the mix in the glass bowl. Stir until the marshmallows melt.

Spoon into cupcake tins/papers or onto wax paper. Makes about 3-5 lbs of this confection. Prepare to send it to friends and family.

MMM. Good.
