Directions
- Gather the ingredients.
- Prepare a cookie sheet by covering it with aluminum foil or parchment, and spray the foil or parchment with nonstick cooking spray.
- Arrange the pecans in clusters of 4, with each pecan pointing in a different direction (like turtle legs). Alternatively, you can just drop them in small clusters on the baking sheet.
- Unwrap the caramels if wrapped and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. If they are very stiff, add a spoonful of water so the final product will be softer. Microwave them until melted, stirring after every 30 seconds.
- Allow the caramel to cool slightly, so it’s not piping-hot, then use a spoon or a small candy scoop to drop a spoonful of caramel on each pecan cluster. They are meant to be rustic candies, so don’t worry about keeping the turtles round or about having some of the pecans poking through.
