When Robert Watness of Greenwood, Indiana gives candy on Valentine's Day, he's sure to include his homemade version of Turtles. This easy candy has brought many compliments, he says. Ingredients:
1/2 pound pecan halves |
75 caramels |
3 tablespoons milk |
1 pound dark chocolate candy coating, melted |
Directions:
1. On waxed paper, place pecan halves in pairs 2 in. apart. In a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, cook and stir the caramels and milk until melted. Pour about 2 teaspoons of caramel mixture over each pair of pecans. Let stand until set.
2. With buttered fingers, shape pecan clusters into balls. Dip in candy coating. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate until set. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 5 dozen.
