Ingredients
- 2 cups pecan halves as needed
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/4 c granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 7 oz almond paste
Instructions
- 1 Preheat oven to 400°F(200°C). Combine all of the ingredients, except for the pecans, in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Spoon the mixture into a zip-top plastic bag.
2 Arrange the pecans on a baking sheet in star patterns to form the shape of the turtle bodies. Cut off a 1-inch piece from the corner of the plastic bag.
3 Pipe the mixture out in the center of the pecans to form the "shells" of the turtles.
4 Bake until the surface of the "shells" begins to crack and is set, about 15 minutes.
