I just made soem the other night. This recipe is SUPER EASY! Melt a bag 25 caramels w/ 2 tablespoons evap. milk. Once caramel is melted mix in pecans (or whatever other nuts you like). Drop by tablespoon fulls onto waxed paper. Melt 2 cups chocolate chips w/ 2 tablespoon shortening. Spoon chocolate over caramel nuts. YUMMY and so easy even the kiddos can help.

Easy Turtle Candy RecipeThe easiest turtle candy I've made is using mini pretzels. Lay mini pretzels out on a plate. Place 1 Rolo candy on each pretzel. Microwave about 30-45 seconds to soften (watch them carefully; you don't want to melt them, just softened slightly). Immediately press a pecan half into each Rolo. Tada - turtle candies.

Becca, I love that recipe. I haven't tried it in the microwave though. I usually pop them in the oven. But the microwave would be so much easier. I also tried it with Caramel Kisses, I couldn't find Rolo's. That was pretty tasty too.

Mine is similar. For each turtle, place 2 - 3 pecan halves together on a microwave safe plate. Put a caramel square on top of them and microwave for a few seconds (until the caramel melts enough to lose it's shape but isn't runny). Melt chocolate and put a small amount over the caramel.
