     Fudge Turtles

     Serves: 30 | Prep time: minutes

     Ingredients

     • 1 pound pecan halves
     • 15 caramels, unwrapped and cut in half
     • 1 Homemade Gourmet® Five Minute Fudge Mix, with pecan packet
     • 7 large marshmellows or 1-1/4 cup small marshmellows
     • 1/3 cup evaporated milk
     • 4 tablespoons butter/margarine, softened

     Directions

     1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Grease a 11x17x1 baking sheet, place 3 pecan halves as a 3-point star in intervals 2 inches apart. Squeeze caramel halves flat with your fingers and lay on top of each trio of pecan halves. Bake for 5 minutes or until caramels are soft.  Do not allow them to melt. Remove from oven and cool.

     2. Remove pecan packet from Five Minute Fudge Mix; set aside. In a 5 quart microwave safe mixing bowl, combine fudge mix , marshmallows, and evaporated milk; stir with a heavy spoon.
           a. Microwave uncovered on high for 2 minutes; marshmallows will be large and puffy; stir for 30 seconds to blend thoroughly.
           b. Microwave uncovered on high for another 2 minutes; marshmallows will be smaller; stir for 30 seconds to blend thoroughly.
           c. Microwave uncovered on high for 1 minute; fudge should be bubbly; stir for 30 seconds to blend thoroughly.  * If fudge is not bubbly, microwave in 1-minute increments until fudge is bubbly and begins to stiffen while stirring.

     3. CAUTION, mixture will be extremely hot. Add butter and beat with a heavy spoon for 30 seconds until butter is melted and fudge is creamy.

     4. Spoon fudge on top of each caramel until caramel is covered.  If desired, sprinkle pecan pieces on top of each fudge turtle.  Refrigerate or freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Remove fudge turtles from baking sheet, and store in airtight container.
