Hi Laura,
Here are two.
Phaed
Turtle Candy
Ingredients
1 bag caramels (wrappers removed)
1 can condensed milk
1 pound pecan halves
milk chocolate for candy dipping
Directions
Melt candies and milk in double boiler(can use microwave, but
burns easily). Add pecans, mix well. Drop by spoonful onto a wax
paper lined cookie sheet. Freeze. Dip into melted chocolate. Drop
onto wax paper. (a skewer is good for dipping)

Betty Crocker Easy Turtle Candy
4 oz pecan halves (about 72)
24 caramel candies
1 t. shortening
6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
Heat oven to 300º. Cover cookie sheet with aluminum foil, shiny
side up; lightly grease. For each candy, place 3 pecan halves in a
"Y" shape on foil. Place 1 caramel candy in center of each "Y".
Bake just until caramel is melted, about 9 - 10 minutes. Heat
shortening and chocolate chips over low heat just until chocolate is
melted. Spread over candies and refrigerate 30 minutes.
