Just made caramel pecan turtles this past weekend! I used the Merckens caramel block. But I streamlined the whole process (at least I think I did!). I first toasted pecans and then rough chopped them up. Then put some of the caramel block (cut into small chunks) in a small pan and poured in some half-n-half (sorry, did not measure). I put heat on low and melted the caramel and stirred until that and half/half all blended. Then I dumped the chopped pecans in the pan, stirred to coat the pecans and then used the cookie scoop (from KAF of course) to scoop out and drop on parchment paper laying on my granite countertop. Then melted some KAF bittersweet chocolate in the microwave. Dropped small amount on top of the caramel pecan turtles on the parchment paper, smeared chocolate around to cover top of the turtles then let them cool and set up. All this came from my little 'ole brain! They are so delicious!!!!
