    Title: Turtles
    Categories: Candies, Chocolate, Nuts
    Yield: 24 Servings

    1 lb (58) caramels; melted
    1 lb Fresh pecan halves
    1 lb Chocolate candy coating;
    - melted

    Lay out sheet of silicon paper (candy will stick to waxed
    paper) Place 2 pecan halves side by side - repeat these
    pairs all across and down the sheet. Spoon melted caramel
    on each pair. When this sets, drop the candy top-down into
    melted chocolate. Lift candy out of chocolate and put
    bottom-down onto silcon paper. When set, put the turtle in
    candy cup. If there is chocolate coating left, throw in
    some nuts or cereal or chinese noodles. Stir and spoon
    mixture into candy cups.

    TIPS FOR USING CANDY COATING:

    1) Melt in double boiler or in microwave (never more
    than 2 minutes - check and stir every 15 seconds).

    2) Avoid getting water or steam into candy coating or
    it will turn solid.

    3) For a richer taste, use 1 lb. candy coating and 1/4
    lb real chocolate. I have taken many, many candy-making
    classes, but this is the easiest and most raved about
    candy I make.
