Directions:
Combine the sugars, syrup, butter and 1 cup of the evaporated milk, and bring to a boil.

Pour into a 9 by 11-inch greased pan and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature, cut into squares then dip in chocolate. If you'd like to make a turtle, spoon dollops of the caramel pecan mixture onto a greased sheet pan, with 5 pecans in each mound (4 legs and head). Refrigerate to set, then dip in chocolate.Yield: 48 Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 1 hour 15 minutes | |
