Turtle candies are always one of my favorites, especially at Christmastime. This is a great and easy to make recipe and the bars are delicious. I use walnuts in place of the pecans, because I've always associated walnuts with turtle candies ever since childhood. These would also be good with peanuts, and I've also used dark chocolate chips quite successfully with this. One addition I've made from time to time is to sprinkle coconut on top of the finished bars.
