Choco-Caramel Turtles Recipe from Pillsbury.com

Choco-Caramel Turtles Recipe from Pillsbury.com

INGREDIENTS
6oz (1 1/2 cups) pecan halves (about 120 pieces)
8caramels, unwrapped
1roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated chocolate chip cookies
3/4cup chocolate creamy ready-to-spread frosting (from 1-lb container)
DIRECTIONS
1 Heat oven to 350°F. Arrange pecans in groups of 5 on ungreased cookie sheets to resemble head and legs of turtle.
2 Cut each caramel into 3 equal pieces. Wrap 1 tablespoon cookie dough around each piece of caramel. Press dough lightly onto pecans, covering half of each. (Tips of pecans should show after baking.)
3 Bake 10 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 20 minutes. Spread about 1 rounded teaspoon frosting on each cooled cookie.
You could use sugar cookie dough instead of the chocolate chip dough if you like.
For the best results, keep pecans tightly covered. As they can spoil easily, store in the freezer for longer storage.
