Since the holidays are quickly approaching, all things sweets have been on my mind. From experimenting with new sweet recipes for the winter season to eating bressert (dessert for breakfast), I’ve been having my fair share of homemade (healthy) holiday treats. No shame included.🙅
Are desserts are your mind lately too? I think it’s just the time of year that has me dreaming of apple pie, Christmas cookies, chocolate,etc. I love making desserts for holiday parties, but I’m usually slaving in the kitchen for HOURS on end making 8 kinds of cupcakes, 11 types of cookies, 4 types of chocolate and 3 types of pie. Ok, total exaggeration here, but my point is, why take time spend hours in the kitchen when it can take you 3 minutes (plus chilling time) to make gourmet crowd-pleasing dessert? And bonus: it’s totally healthy.
Yes I’m talking about this eye-catching tiger-stripe Turtle Pecan Bark. Who doesn’t love pecans, caramel and chocolate together? So good.
The star of the show here is Georgia Grinders Pecan Butter, which creates the perfect base for this bark. It’s creamy, drippy and has a strong nutty taste. Did you ever try pecan butter? I hate to say this, but sorry peanut butter, you are now second.
Georgia Grinders is a nut butter company that is dedicated to creating high-quality, unique nut butters with simple and minimal ingredients. They also sent me their original almond butter, creamy cashew butter (you can use in these blondies) and pecan-peanut butter. All these jars deserve a big round of applause👏👏👏
Ok, now back to this bark! It’s mind-boggling to think that it’s vegan and paleo friendly and highly addictive. Only 5 ingredients are needed:
Coconut oil
chopped pecans
melted dark chocolate
No-Bake Turtle Pecan Chocolate Bark
Only 5 ingredients are used to create this tasty, decadent Turtle Pecan Bark! With the great flavor combo of pecans, chocolate and caramel, you’d never guess this bark is paleo and vegan friendly!

Question of the day:
What is your favorite holiday dessert?
I’m promising myself I’ll actually make bark this year! Haha! Just like fruit crisp/crumbles, bark is something I always intend to make and never end up doing 😛
Wow this looks incredible! I love how the base is pecan butter. So creative and still Paleo-friendly!
Turtle inspired things are my favorite things!! Mmm I just love the nutty chocolate caramel-y combo <333 Especially when it's super easy like this. Yes totally craving all the desserts right now too 🙂
Georgia Grinder’s is AMAZING; and it was genius to make candy bark out of it! <3 It looks SO DELICIOUS!
I’ve been wondering if pecan butter existed! I NEED to get my hands on some of this so I can make this gorgeous bark. Looks so delish.
Ummmmmmm, I need this in my life ASAP. I just made 12 different chocolate bark recipes but since this doesn’t involve that much chocolate, I pretty much have to make this too 😛
OMG, pecan butter sounds so good! Actually, Georgia Grinders’ maple caramel almond butter sounds pretty damn amazing too. I’m drooling over here at this bark. 🙂
This is absolutely stunning!
I want to be swimming about in the rivers of melted coconut oil, pecan butter and caramel sauce!
