8 oz soft caramels
2 TBL heavy cream
1 cup pecan halves

Melt caramels in heavy cream in top of double boiler. Arrange pecans in groups of five (a head & 4 legs.) Spoon caramel in a small mound in the middle of the nuts to make the body. The caramels should partially cover the nuts to keep them in place. Let stand until hard. Coat body, head & legs with dipping chocolate.
Dipping Chocolate:
1 lb semi-sweet chocolate

Melt chocolate in top of double boiler. Stir with a spoon while chocolate is melting. Be careful nut to drip any water into chocolate. One drop of moisture will make the chocolate tighten. Spoon melted chocolate over body, head & legs of turtle.~~

I use to work at a candy shop and one of the family members that owned the business use to set at a marble slab and make those all the time. They use to get a big cookie sheet and lay all the nuts flat on it and the come over and dab the caramel in rolls and she would put the chocolate on top. Thanks for the memory and the great recipe.
