CARAMEL SNAPPERS

About 1 cup pecan halves

36 light, soft caramels



Arrange pecans, flat side down in groups of 3 (like a 3 leaf clover shape--it should look like a turtle's head and feet) on a buttered waxed paper on microwave safe plate. Place one caramel on each cluster of pecans. For 8-10 clusters, microwave on high for 30-60 SECONDS until caramels are soft.

***Watch carefully*** various brands of caramels melt differently. With a buttered spatula, flatten caramels over pecans. Remove from waxed paper to plate. Make frosting and swirl on top of snapper. Makes about 3 dozen.



Glossy Chocolate Frosting

1 tablespoon butter

1 square (1 ounce) unsweetened chocolate

1C powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

About 2 tablespoons hot milk

In a small glass bowl, melt butter and chocolate in microwave on high for 1-2 minutes. Keep an eye on the melting, it might take less time. Mix in sugar, vanilla and enough milk to make frosting of spreading consistency.

I would buy frosting but it is up to you. Have a safe day..................
