Turtles

These are sticky, ooey, gooey, and really really tasty. Kinda messy to make, but worth it!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound (about 56) vanilla caramels, like Kraft
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 Tbsp water
  • 1 package milk chocolate morsels
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 Tbsp water
  • 2 cups pecan halves

But No Elephants On Top

Over boiling water, in a double boiler, combine the caramels, butter, and 1 Tablespoon butter. Heat and stir until caramels melt and mixture is smooth. Keep over the boiling water.

In another double boiler (or a small bowl over a pan of hot water), combine the chocolate, corn syrup, and 2 Tablespoons water over hot water, not boiling. Heat and stir until the mixture is smooth. Keep warm over the hot water.

Grease a cookie sheet well. Drop the caramel mixture by 1/2 teaspoonfuls onto the sheet. Place 3 pecan halves on each drop. Cover with a teaspoonful of the chocolate mixture. Cool until set.

Notes and Hints and Stuff

  • STICKY!
    Yeah, I know. I generally have to stick these in the freezer to get them to let loose the pan. Best stored in a very cool place, or they will ooze and stick together. Still, they're darn tasty.
