Ingredients

1 c. pecan halves
24 sq. light caramels
1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tsp. vegetable oil

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325\u00b0.
Line a baking sheet with foil.
Grease foil well.
Arrange pecans in clusters of 4, flat sides down, 1/2-inch apart.
Place 1 caramel on top of each cluster, pressing into pecans to flatten slightly and hold pecans together.
Place in oven; bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until caramels are soft.
Remove from oven; carefully flatten each caramel with a flat, buttered knife.
In a 1-cup glass measure, combine chocolate chips and oil. Heat in microwave on High 45 to 60 seconds, until smooth.
Spoon chocolate over Turtles, until covered.
Refrigerate 1 hour, until set.
Store and serve at room temperature.
