Add the ingredients for the peanut butter mixture to a stand mixer (or use a mixing bowl and mix by hand) and beat until a thick peanut butter dough forms.

Arrange 5 raw pecan halves in the shape of a turtle on a baking sheet. Shape about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the peanut butter mixture into an oval/shell shape and press it onto the pecans. Be sure to press the pecans into the peanut butter so that they stay. Place the turtle back on the baking sheet. Repeat for the remaining peanut butter and pecans.

Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil (or avocado oil or butter) to a microwave safe bowl and heat at 30 second increments, stirring very well between, until melted (about 1 to 1.5 minutes total). You want the chocolate mixture to be thick and spoonable but not too runny.

Drizzle chocolate over the peanut butter, forming a chocolate shell. If desired, decorate the shell with additional pecans or sea salt.

Place the whole baking sheet in the refrigerator or freezer and chill until set up, about 2 hours.
