Ingredients
- 48 Pecan Halves (get A Little Extra In Case Some Break)

- 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil
Preparation
Cover a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Arrange pecans in twelve X’s making four legs sticking out.
Unwrap caramels and place in microwavable bowl. Don’t use too small of a bowl. You will need to be able to easily stir it. Add cream and microwave on 50% power for 30 seconds. If not melted, heat in 15-second intervals at 50% power. Stir between each interval. Stir and place one heaping tablespoon in the center of each set of pecans. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.
Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in microwave for 1 minute at 50% power. Stir until bowl no longer feels warm. Continue heating at 15-30 second 50% power intervals until fully melted. Stirring every interval until bowl no longer feels warm.
Spoon chocolate over the the caramel, spreading and swirling with the back of the spoon. Allow to fully set for several hours. You can refrigerate the turtles to speed up the process.
