CARAMEL PECAN TURTLES

1 recipe cream caramel
1 pound sweet or semisweet chocolate
1/2 pound pecans

Make 1 recipe of cream caramels or evaporated milk caramels, cooking the final mixture to 246°.

Place 1/2 pound pecan meats in little circles of 3 to 4 pecans on large greased cookie sheets.

When the caramel has cooled for 10 minutes drop by spoonfuls on the circle of pecans.

If you have one, you can use a metal funnel and wooden stick, only be sure to heat and oil both the funnel and stick. Pour the caramel into the funnel and push circlets of caramel out with the stick.

Put cookie sheets into the refrigerator to cool for about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile melt 1 pound sweet or semisweet chocolate over hot (not boiling) water, stirring and beating while melting it.

Remove from water before chocolate is completely melted and continue beating until chocolate is all melted and has begun to cool.
