Ingredients:
12 ounces soft caramels (homemade or store-bought)
6 ounces pecans (halves, toasted)
8 ounces chocolate (semi-sweet, chips are fine)
How to Make It:
1 Gather the ingredients.
Prepare a cookie sheet by covering it with aluminum foil or parchment, and spraying the foil or parchment with nonstick cooking spray.
Arrange the pecans in clusters of 4 with each pecan pointing in a different direction (like turtle legs).
Nougat bar ingredients
Caramel candy ingredients
Alternately, you can just drop them in small clusters on the baking sheet.
Unwrap the caramels if wrapped and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. If they are very stiff, add a spoonful of water so the final product will be softer.
Microwave them until melted, stirring after every 30 seconds.
