Homemade turtle candy is so good and easy to make, you'll wonder why you have never made it before. All that's needed really are 3 ingredients and just a little bit of time to have a great candy.

Ingredients

• non-stick cooking spray
• 12 oz. soft caramels, homemade or store-bought, unwrapped
• 6 oz. pecan halves, toasted
• 8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, chips are fine

Steps

1. Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper; spray with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Arrange pecans in clusters of 4, with each pecan pointing in a different direction like turtle legs or an 'X'.
3. Place unwrapped caramels in a microwave-safe bowl. If they are very stiff, add a spoonful of water to make them softer. Microwave them until melted, stirring after every 30 seconds.
