Speedy Turtles

• 4 dozen pecan halves
• 12 unwrapped caramels (make certain to use fresh soft caramels for easier handling)
• 8 ounces semisweet chocolate
• 2 tablespoons oil (not olive oil)

1. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper.
2. Arrange pecans in groups of four on the cookie sheet so that they resemble the feet of a turtle.
3. Flatten each caramel into a 1-1/2-in square.
4. Press a caramel gently onto each of the"feet" (these will be the turtle's body).
5. Melt chocolate in the microwave for 2 minutes; stir.
6. Microwave for 1-2 minutes longer, stirring every min; stir in the oil.
7. Spoon chocolate over caramels leaving tips of pecans showing.
8. Refrigerate until set.
