Answer 1

White Chocolate Turtles Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse
Show: The Essence of Emeril
Episode: White Chocolate

3 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups toasted pecans
3 ounces milk chocolate
1 teaspoon vanilla
Tempered white chocolate

In a sauce pan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, cream, butter and pecans together. Stir over high heat until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the chocolate and boil the ingredients slowly to the firm ball stage, 248 degrees F. Stir in the vanilla. Using a wooden spoon, drop about a tablespoon for each candy onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let the caramels cool and set, about 5 minutes. Using a candy dipping fork, dip each caramel into the tempered chocolate. Place the chocolates back on the parchment on allow to set, about 5 minutes.

Answer 2

Turtles

1 package caramels
3 T. milk
1 1/2 to 2 cups pecans
1 giant Hershey bar
1/4 block parafin
Melt together the milk and the caramels over low heat or in the microwave. Add pecans. Drop on greased cookie sheets and cool completely (stick them in the freezer or outside if it's cold where you live!) When cool, dip in mixture of melted chocolate and parafin, and place on waxed paper to cool.

The parafin isn't necessary, but it makes the chocoalte shinier. I've always thought it's a little odd to melt wax in your chocolate, but it doesn't taste wierd, and you can always leave it out if you want! This is the recipe my mom and I have used for years!
