These sweet, delicious, rich millionaire's cookies look and taste like homemade Chocolate Turtles. Great as a sweet treat on special occasions. Ingredients:
2 cups or 16 oz (500 ml) kraft individually wrapped caramels (keep refrigerated, easier to unwrap) |
3 tbsp (15 ml) water |
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) pecans, chopped |
1 cup rice krispies, crushed slightly |

1/3 bar parafin wax (parowax) |
Directions:
1. Melt the caramel in a double-boiler (bain-marie). Remove from heat and add the pecan pieces and the rice krispies. Mix well.
2. This part may be a bit sticky.
3. Place a piece of wax paper on a cookie sheet. Butter the wax paper slightly.
4. Place a full teaspoon or tablespoon at a time of the caramel mixture, evenly spaced, on the wax paper. Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator or in the freezer until the caramel has hardened .
5. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate and the parafin wax in the double-boiler (bain-marie).
