December 28 - National Chocolate Candy Day

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Turtles
Categories: Candies, Chocolate, Nuts
Yield: 24 Servings

1 lb (58) caramels; melted
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.
