WIP Chocolate Turtles / Pecan Clusters

Hello everyone! I am FINALLY back to working!


To get back in the groove I started making some candies! :D These are chocolate turtles and/or pecan clusters. I call them chocolate turtles because that is just what I am used to. I also like them with almonds! Almonds are my favorite! Anyways....

 
Each one is handmade... I didn't use any molds because I wanted them each to be unique, just like real ones!


These are going to be "gourmet" chocolates. I love anything gourmet. Anything decadent. Anything chocolate. Haha :) The little papers with the gold foil are gong to be in the packages for these. I still have to make the small baggies these go in and I also have to add some finishing touches to the candies!

As for as my classes, they are going great! My classes on campus are both art related so I am having TONS of fun with them. I am taking Design and Computer Graphics. In Design we are cutting paper and in CG we are making movie posters! My other two online classes are kinda boring... they are Algebra and English. I like English, but it is taking a while to get used to it being online.

Well, I think that is all for now! I will hopefully be slowly picking my minis up more and more... and getting back to my house! I have collected about a dozen egg cartons by now. That's a lot of bricks! Haha!

Thanks for stopping by!

    1. Yay! I will just keep calling them turtles. I wasn't sure, so I just put both names. Seems like pretty much everyone agrees!
