SUPPLIES NEEDED Milk or Dark Chocolate Candy Coating- 2 pounds Caramel Bits- 1 bag Pecan Pieces- 12 ounces Parchment Paper
Melt candy coating. Stir in pecan pieces and one bag of caramel bits. (Do not melt the caramel bits.) Spoon desired size of mounds onto parchment or waxed paper. *Note- this mixture may set up before you have finished making the mounds. If it does, simply zap in the microwave a few seconds. Let mounds set up room temperature, unless the room is too warm. Then put in freezer for a few minutes.
SUPPLIES NEEDED Milk or Dark Chocolate Candy Coating Caramel Block Pecan Pieces Turtle Mold Squeeze Bottle
Melt candy coating. Line your turtle mold: Fill squeeze bottle with the melted candy coating. Squeeze the candy into a clean dry mold cavity starting at the top rim, making sure the entire cavity (especially the sides) is covered with the coating. Continue filling all the molds this way. Turn the mold over and dump the excess candy onto parchment paper. Dumped candy may be remelted. Invert the mold and use a spatula to scrape all excess candy off the surface of the mold until the top rim of the cavities appears neat. Let candy set up at room temperature. Cut a small piece of caramel to fill 1/2 of the lined mold. Shape and press into lined mold. Press pecans on top of the caramel, enough to nearly reach the brim. With melted coating in squeeze bottle squeeze candy over the caramel and nuts, starting at the outer edge of cavity to insure proper sealing. Place in freezer. When the mold is cloudy and the candy feels cold, invert the mold and the candy will drop from the mold.
