Guidelines

Amount of Ingredient: 64 Pieces of pecan nuts.
11 ounces of caramels for baking or cooking.
1 sack Chocolate chips with a slightly sweet taste
Parchment paper or a silicone baking mat
Directions
First step: Get the pecans ready.
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) before using it. Place groups of four pecan halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Each group should look like a turtle with four legs. This step makes sure that the pecans are spread out evenly and prepared to support the caramel and chocolate.

Step 2: Heat the caramel candies until they become liquid.

Put the caramels in a bowl that can be used in the microwave. Heat the caramels in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring each time, until they are completely melted and smooth. With a spoon, put a small amount of melted caramel in the middle of each group of pecans. Make sure the caramel spreads a bit to keep the pecans together. Allow the pecans with caramel on top to rest until the caramel becomes hard, which usually takes around 10-15 minutes.
