Here’s a simple recipe for making the best Turtles candy:
Ingredients:
24 soft caramels
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips

Instructions:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, heat the caramels and heavy cream over low heat until the caramels are melted and the mixture is smooth.
