Caramel Pecan Turtles with Sea Salt

INGREDIENTS

• 72 pecan halves

• 24 caramel candies, unwrapped

• 1 6 ounce package chocolate chips, chocolate or semi-sweet

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat oven to 350*F. Place a sheet of aluminum foil, on a cookie sheet and spray with vegetable oil.

2. For each candy, place 3 pecan halves in a "Y" shape on the foil. Place on caramel over the center. Bake about 6-7 minutes, just until the caramel melts. The caramels might still appear un-melted, press them gently with the back of a spatula to flatten slightly. Cool 2-3 minutes.

3. Melt chocolate chips over a very low heat (or use a double boiler), stirring. Spoon chocolate over the candies, leaving just the tips of the pecans uncovered. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes. Chill until chocolate firms, about 10 minutes. Makes 24
