CARAMEL SNAPPERS (Turtles) 
144 sm. pecan halves (about 1 c.)
36 caramels
1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate pieces, melted

Grease cookie sheet. On it arrange pecans, flat side down, in groups of 4. (If large in groups of 2.) Place 1 caramel on each cluster of pecans. Heat at 325 degrees until caramels soften, about 4 to 8 minutes. (Watch carefully, various caramels melt at different rates.)

Remove from the oven; with buttered spatula, flatten caramel over pecans. Cool slightly; remove from pan to waxed paper. Swirl melted chocolate on top. Makes 36 pieces.
