Chocolate Turtles - cooking recipe

Ingredients

150 pecan halves (about 3 c.)
50 caramels
8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate

Preparation

Preheat oven to 300\u00b0.
On greased baking sheets, arrange the pecan halves in groups of 3, flat side down, in Y shapes.
Place a caramel on top of each cluster.
Place in oven until the caramels soften, about 5 to 8 minutes.
Remove from oven and flatten the caramels over the pecans with a buttered spoon.
Cool slightly. Melt the chocolate using a double boiler over simmering water. Dip the turtles into the chocolate and cool on wax paper.
Store in tightly covered containers in a cool place.
