Chocolate Caramel Turtles

This is a great gift to give for Valentines Day or as a Hostess Gift , the best way I have found out to pack these are in candy wrappers you can get in a cooking supply store and present them in a Chinese take out boxes, they have a large selection of them at The Container Store for every holiday or just single colors.

Chocolate Caramel Turtles

16oz package of caramels
2 tbsp. of water
3/4 lb. of fresh pecan halves
6 oz package of semi -sweet chocolate chips

Melt the caramels and water in a double boiler, stir until melted.
On a cookie sheet with parchment paper arrange 36 clusters of pecans 2 inches apart.
Drop the melted caramel by a teaspoon on top of the cluster pecans, let the caramel cool and set up.
Melt the Semi-Sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler when chocolate is melted frost the turtles with the chocolate , let it cool and set up.

this will make 3 dozens
