TURTLE DOVES

Steps:

• Place UNOPENED can of evaporated milk in 2 quart saucepan. Cover with water, boil for 1 hour, keeping can covered with water. Remove and cool.
• In a double boiler, over medium-low heat, melt Dove chocolate until creamy.
• On parchment paper,drop small amount of Dove chocolate and spread out to quarter size. Place 4 pecan halves on top of chocolate.
• Open can of evaporated milk, and scoop a tablespoon of creamy caramel on top of each set of pecan halves.
• Cover caramel with melted chocolate.
• Cool completely. (I place tray in freezer for 5 - 10 minutes for a quick set).
• Remove from parchment paper and serve, or store in container with parchment paper in between layers of turtles.

TURTLE DOVE NESTS

Steps:

• In a microwave, melt chips; stir until smooth. Stir in the rice noodles, cereal and peanuts. Divide into 15 mounds on waxed paper and shape into nests; press indentation in the center of each. Add three jelly beans to each nest. Let stand until set.

TURTLE DOVE BARS

Steps:

• 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all crust ingredients except pecans. Beat at medium speed until crumbly. Press into bottom of 9 by 13 ungreased baking pan. Sprinkle pecans over unbaked crust.
• 2. For the filling: Combine butter and brown sugar in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a full boil, 4-5 minutes. Boil, stirring constantly, until candy thermometer reaches 242F 2-3 minutes.
• 3. Pour over pecans and crust. Bake at 350F for 18-20 minutes, or until caramel layer is bubbly. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with butterscotch and chocolate chips; let stand 5 minutes. Swirl chips as they melt leaving some whole for a marbled effect. Cool completely. Cut into bars.

CHOCOLATE TURTLE MARTINI

Steps:

• Sweeten the cocoa powder to your liking by mixing the cocoa and powdered sugar.
• Take a large martini glass and very carefully coat the rim in caramel sauce from the squeeze bottle, being careful not to let it drip too far down the sides.
• Then, dip the entire rim of the glass into the sweetened cocoa powder, being sure to coat all of the caramel.
• The desired effect is a chocolate dusted caramel rim.
• You can also put just a drop of chocolate syrup at the bottom of the glass for color.
• Shake the vodka, creme de cacao and praline liqueur in a martini shaker with ice to chill.
• Fill the martini glass nearly full with crushed or shaved ice, being careful not to touch the rim.
• Strain the drink into the martini glass.
• Garnish atop the floating ice with a roasted pecan half and a small piece of chopped chocolate.
• Or you can garnish it with a half of a Turtle candy by making an incision and hanging it on the rim of the glass.
• Also, if you prefer your martini to LOOK dark like chocolate, I would use the dark creme de cacao, however, the garnish will stand out more when the drink is more translucent.
