Turtle Candies

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 250°F. Lightly salt pecans and toast on a baking sheet for about 25-30 minutes.
2. 2
   While pecans are toasting, melt caramels according to package directions. I melted them in the microwave and it was just fine and dandy.
3. 3
   Mix toasted pecans into melted caramels. Slightly cool, so you can handle. Drop tablespoon size rounds onto buttered or lined baking sheet. If mixture begins to harden, reheat for a few seconds at a time in the microwave. Let cool.
4. 4
   Melt chocolate chips according to package directions. Again, the microwave worked like a charm. Top each caramel/pecan drop with about 1 tablespoon of chocolate, and sprinkle with a little bit of salt. Let cool.
5. 5
   Store in an airtight container.
6. 6
   Makes about 4 dozen.
