Begin by lining the bottom of your slow cooker with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Place the pecan halves in small clusters (about 3 pecans per cluster) at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Unwrap the caramel candies and place one on top of each pecan cluster.
Cover and cook on low for about 1 hour, or until the caramels are softened and slightly melted.
Once the caramels are melted, add the chocolate chips and butter to the slow cooker.
Cover and allow the chocolate to melt for another 15-20 minutes.
Stir the chocolate and butter together until smooth, then drizzle the chocolate over each caramel-pecan cluster.
After drizzling, place the slow cooker on warm and let everything set for about 30 minutes.
Remove the turtles from the slow cooker and allow them to cool completely at room temperature.
Serving and Storage Tips:

These chocolate turtles can be served as a stand-alone treat or used to garnish cakes, cupcakes, or ice cream for extra flair.
Once completely cooled, store your turtles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks to maintain their freshness. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months, just make sure they are well-wrapped to avoid freezer burn.
