How to Make Caramel Pecan Turtle Chocolate Candies

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
Grease a large baking sheet generously with butter or cooking spray.
Arrange 26 pecan halves in clusters of 4, flat side down, on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cluster.
Place one (1) caramel on top of each pecan cluster.
Bake for 4-6 minutes, or until caramels are softened and slightly spread.
Remove from oven and gently press each caramel flat using the bottom of a buttered spatula or the back of a spoon.
Carefully transfer the caramel-pecan clusters to a sheet of waxed paper to cool completely.
Melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a microwave-safe bowl in 25-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.
Spoon melted chocolate evenly over the cooled caramel-pecan clusters, ensuring each is fully coated.
Let the candies cool completely at room temperature for at least 2-3 hours, or until the chocolate is set.
Enjoy your delicious homemade Caramel Pecan Turtle Candies!
