---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05 Title: Turtles Categories: Candies Yield: 1 servings 1 lb Or nestles caramels; melted = (not kraft) 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.JM. From Louise Lovdahl -----
