PECAN TURTLES
I made these "turtle-like" concoctions one Christmas for a sweets exchange. My dad saw them on the counter waiting to be boxed up and couldn't believe I made them. He said they looked like they came from a candy shop. That's the best compliment I've ever received. -Carrie Burke Conway, Massachusetts

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread pecans in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; toast until dark and fragrant, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool completely, then coarsely chop.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. In a medium saucepan, combine butter, sugar, 1 tablespoon water, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring until butter melts, then reduce heatto medium-high and continue cooking, swirling pan occasionally, until a candy thermometer registers 280 degrees. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until thermometer registers 298 degrees.
- Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and let stand until bubbles subside, about 30 seconds. Stir once, then pour mixture into center of prepared sheet, using a small circular motion (mixture will spread toward edges in an oval shape). Immediately sprinkle evenly with pecans. Let stand until hard and dry, about 1 hour.
- Drizzle half of chocolate evenly over top (reserving remaining chocolate for another use). Let stand until hard and dry, about 2 hours. Break into small pieces and serve, or store between layers of parchment in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 month.
