1/2 lb. soft caramels
1 c. pecan halves
2 tbsp. heavy cream
4 squares semi sweet chocolate

Melt caramels in cream over hot water; cool about 10 minutes. Place nuts on wax paper in groups of three (4 if you like large turtles). Spoon caramel mixture over nuts leaving tips showing. Let stand until set (about 1/2 hour). Meanwhile, melt chocolate over hot water; cool to lukewarm. Spread cooled chocolate over caramel. Makes about 24 turtles.
