These are a lot like the Turtles chocolate candy. 1 package (14oz) caramels, about 53 of the small individually wrapped caramels. 3 tbsp of water 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans (or nuts of your choice, mixed nuts would be nice too) 1 cup crisp rice cereal (like Rice Crispies or Special K) 3 cups chocolate chips 1 1/2 tsp shortening Line two baking sheets with waxed paper, grease the paper and set aside. In a large saucepan, combine the caramels and water. Cook over medium low heat until caramels are melted and smooth. Stir in crisp rice and pecans. Stir until well coated. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto prepared pans. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until firm Meanwhile, in a microwave, melt chocolate and shortening together and stir until smooth, add more shortening by 1/2 tsp until the chocolate is smooth and runny (if required) Dip candy into chocolate, coating all sides. Allow excess to drip off. Place on prepared pans and refrigerate until set. Store in an airtight container Music by Jason Shaw www.youtube.com/user/audionautix Jason Shaw@audionautix.com
