This recipe for Turtle Candy Chocolate Dipped Oreo Cookies is addictive.  I already love my Oreo cookies, and I love turtle candy with the pecan, caramel, and chocolate combination.  Combining the two of them is a recipe for perfection.  This is a super easy recipe to make and is going to be a favorite treat for you and your family.These Turtle Candy Chocolate Dipped Oreo Cookies are an easy treat everyone will enjoy! They combine Oreos with decadent caramel, chocolate, and pecans.

Making turtle candy used to be a long process full of perfectly dipping caramels and pecans.  This recipe for Turtle Candy Chocolate Dipped Oreo Cookies is so much easier and even better.  Instead of dipping everything, you simply layer things into a mold.  I love using these round molds for this treat, and keep a few of them on hand so I can make large batches all at one time.

      I have never frozen these cookies. They would survive the freezer, but the chocolate coating may crack or become discolored in the freezer.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
