Turtle Shortbread Wedges

My Sweet Vegan

Crunchy and sweet on top, chocolately on the bottom, these dessert wedges are good, but I’d hesitate to say excellent.  I think the chocolate shortbread was way too oily and the top too sweet.  Also, I used a candy thermometer and followed the directions exactly, but the top of mine are crystallized, unlike the picture in the book, which shows a more caramely goo.  :)      I don’t want to be too critical; don’t get me wrong, they will satisfy grandpa’s cookie cravings for 10 days straight!

I see that Fat Free Vegan also made these and cut them into squares, a great idea, considering the wedges do break apart easily.
