Ice Cream Turtle

• 3 chocolate-covered coconut candy bars (1-3/4 ounces each)
• 12 vanilla or white chips
• 6 ice cream waffle bowls
• 6 scoops ice cream of your choice
• 24 pecan halves
• 2 chocolate licorice twists, cut into thirds

1. Cut a third off each candy piece, reserving large ends for turtle heads (save small ends for another use). Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; fill with frosting. On each turtle head, secure two vanilla chips with frosting to resemble eyes. Pipe a dot in the center of each chip for pupil; pipe frosting over top of chips for eyelids. Pipe a turtle shell pattern onto waffle bowls; set aside.
2. Place a scoop of ice cream on each serving plate. Working quickly, position four pecan halves around each scoop for feet; press slightly to secure.
3. Press a licorice piece into ice cream for tail. Place waffle bowl over ice cream, making sure feet and tail show. Position head at opposite end of tail. Serve immediately.
