Chocoholics, have I found a breakfast for YOU!
Chocolate turtles are one of my FAVORITE candies. The chewy caramel dipped in smooth, milk or dark chocolate, mixed with the crunch of salty, toasted pecans -- ahhh YES. My mouth is watering.
I remember the first time I ever made them in culinary school, and being so fascinated at how they resembled a turtle.. and having the revelation that that's why they're called "chocolate turtles"...
I felt so stupid I didn't know...but of course, I pretended I did HAHA!
You can purchase tinyB's Salted Caramel Turtles here!
That being said, as you know, I have an unending obsession and infatuation with all things Overnight Oats. SO, i thought, what better way to eat one of my favorite candies for breakfast, than to create a healthy, sweet, DELICIOUS oatmeal combo that mimics the taste wonderfully?!
AND THUS: this Salted Chocolate Turtle Overnight Oats was BORN!
Don't let the word "healthy", or the "healthy ingredients" scare you away!! I guarantee smiles from ear to ear the moment you taste this chocolatey goodness! The dates give a sweet, candy-like flavor and texture that mimics caramel, and the cacao powder acts as the rich, smooth chocolate!

If you make this recipe, take a picture and make sure to tag me on instagram (@_tinybaker), and/or use the hashtag #tinybaker! I HOPE YOU ENJOY and look forward to breakfast now as much as i do!
Notes:
-Any oats will do just fine!
-Any milk will do just fine! If you want it a bit thinner, add ½ cup instead of ⅓ cup.
-You may also add a bit of chocolate chips for extra sweetness! I love using Lily's Sugar Free Stevia Sweetened Baking Chips--Milk or Dark!
-In my experience, glass mason jars always work the best because the glass gets colder than plastic, and the lids are tight and secure! But whatever works best for you, go ahead and use!
