Candy Turtles

Candy Turtles



1/2 lb caramels (about 25)

1 1/4 c pecan halves

2 T heavy cream

8 oz semi-sweet chocolate



Divide pecan halves into groups of three. Melt half the chocolate

and pour in small amounts onto wax paper. Arrange three pecans into

each puddle, with ends in the center, like a three pointed star. Let

cool. Meanwhile, heat caramel and cream together, allow to cool some.

Spoon onto chocolate and pecans. Try not to let caramel spill onto

wax paper. Let cool. Melt rest of chocolate and cover the caramel,

so that it is sandwiched between layers of chocolate. Yum!
