MICROWAVE TURTLE CANDIES

1 (12 oz.) pkg. semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 1/4 cups pecan halves
28 caramels (unwrapped)
2 tbsp. heavy whipping cream

Microwave chocolate in bowl on high for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir after 1 minute, then until smooth. When done, drop chocolate by tablespoons onto waxed paper lined baking sheet, shaping into 16 (1 1/2-inch) circles (set aside remaining chocolate). Arrange 4 pecans over each circle. Chill until firm.

Melt caramels and heavy cream on high 2 minutes. Stir at 1 minute. Let stand 4 minutes until thick. Spoon caramel over pecans.

Microwave remaining chocolate at high 1 minute. Stir after 30 seconds. Quickly spread over caramel mixture. Refrigerate until firm.
