PECAN DELIGHTS
Everyone loves chocolate-covered turtles. This recipe is even tastier than the store-bought candies and well worth the time in the kitchen.

Steps:
- 1. In a large saucepan, combine the first four ingredients. Cook over medium heat until all sugar is dissolved. Gradually add milk and mix well. Continue cooking until a candy thermometer reads 248 degrees (firm-ball stage).
- 2. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla until blended. Fold in the pecans. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a greased or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Chill until firm. Loosen from paper.
- 3. Melt chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler. Drizzle over each cluster. Cool.
