Salted Chocolate Caramel Turtles

I made these this afternoon and they turned out so good!


Here is the recipe for these fabulous looking treats:

Ingredients

8 ounces pecans
14 ounce bag of caramels
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
10 ounce bag of dark chocolate chips
3-4 ounces white chocolate
Fleur de Sel (Sea Salt)

1. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange in clusters of 5-6 pecans. Place under broiler for 90 seconds to toast.
2. Unwrap caramels and heat with milk and vanilla until melted. I used a double boiler to avoid burning them.
3. Spoon caramel mixture over pecan clusters and let stand until caramel hardens, at least thirty minutes.
4. Melt chocolate chips. I used the double boiler for this again. Reserve 1/4 cup of chocolate. Spoon the rest over caramel layer.
5. Let stand until firm--about thirty minutes again.
6. Chop up white chocolate and melt in microwave. Spoon over chocolate layer.
7. Put reserved chocolate in a sealed plastic bag and cut a tiny hole in the corner; then drizzle over white chocolate. I did it this way, but I think next time I will just drizzle it with a spoon.
8. Sprinkle with Fleur de Sel.
