My own chocolate turtles

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pack (12 oz) of Caramels (not with the creme centers)
1 pack (12 oz) of milk chocolate chips; (or semi sweet)
1 pack (4 oz) of pecans or walnuts; (pieces or halves) lightly toasted
2 tablespoons Margarine or butter

Directions

Over simmering water, melt the chocolate. In a pan over very low heat, melt the caramels. Stir in the 2 tablespoons of butter. Watch carefully as it burns easily. Meanwhile, prepare cookie pans with foil. (The caramel will stick to wax paper). Arrange the pecans/walnuts in small clumps on the foil.

With a teaspoon, drizzle the nut clumps with the melted caramel (how much is a matter of taste). With another teaspoon, drizzle the caramel clumps with the melted choclate. Let cool until chocolate sets, remove from foil and store airtight in a cool dry place. Enjoy! Depending on the size of the clumps, will yield about 24-30 pieces of candy.
