25 wrapped caramels unwrapped
12 ounces milk chocolate
2 tablespoons Crisco
Flake sea salt or Kosher salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Then, with your fingers, flatten each caramel and place one in the center of each pecan.

Bake for 5-6 minutes until the caramel is just melted. Remove from the oven and allow the caramels to cool on the pan.
In the meantime, add the chocolate and vegetable shortening to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted.
Spoon the chocolate on top of the caramel. Let the chocolate stand for about 2 minutes, then sprinkle with sea salt flakes or sprinkles. Allow the chocolate to set completely. Pack and store in an airtight container.
*I used 1 pecan and ⅓ of a caramel to make bite-sized turtles.
