CHRISTMAS TURTLES® CANDIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Cover cookies sheet with aluminum foil, shiny side exposed. Lightly grease foil with vegetable oil spray.
• Place 3 pecan halves in a Y shape on the foil. Place 1 caramel candy in the center of each Y. Bake just until caramel is melted, about 9 to 10 minutes.

TURTLES® PIE

Steps:

• Place pecans into bottom of pie shell.
• To Make Filling: In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, cook condensed milk, brown sugar, butter and corn syrup. Stir and bring to a boil; stir continuously for at least 5 minutes. Remove from heat, then slowly beat with a spoon until mixture starts to thicken; will take about 2 minutes. Be sure not to over beat or it will harden too much. Pour mixture into pie shell; cover and refrigerate for about an hour. Filling ingredients may be halved to make for a less rich pie.
• To Make Topping: In a medium saucepan, cook chocolate and butter over low heat until melted together. Stir in condensed milk; mix well. Remove from heat; allow to cool just enough so that yolk won't cook when added, but not so cool that the chocolate hardens; cooling time will be about 3 minutes. Stir in egg yolk to chocolate mixture; spread over cooled filling. Place pie back in refrigerator and cool for another hour.

CARAMEL PECAN TURTLE PIE

Steps:

• For the salted caramel sauce, cook sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant spatula. Continue cooking until sugar forms clumps and melts into a light amber colored liquid, about 4-5 minutes. Once the sugar is completely melted, carefully add butter a few pieces at a time, whisking constantly until incorporated. Slowly drizzle in heavy cream while whisking constantly. Let mixture boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat and pour into a glass bowl. Stir in vanilla and salt, then let sauce cool for 5 minutes.
• Set aside 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce to serve with the pie. Use the remaining 3/4 cup salted caramel sauce for the mousse filling.
• For the caramel mousse, place cold water in a small bowl. Add powdered gelatin, whisking to combine. Let stand for 3 minutes to bloom. After 3 minutes, add gelatin mixture to 3/4 cup warm caramel sauce, whisking until smooth and completely dissolved.
• Pour 1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream into a chilled mixer bowl fitted with wire whip attachment. Whip cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold in caramel mixture. Transfer caramel mousse to pecan pie crust and chill for 2 hours to set the filling.
• Before serving, pour 1 cup cold heavy cream into a chilled mixer bowl fitted with wire whip attachment. Whip cream to stiff peaks, then transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe decoratively over the pie. Top with reserved caramel sauce and chocolate shavings.

TURTLE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. For the crust whip together 4 ounces butter, egg, salt, 1/3 cup sugar and vanilla together. Add the flour and incorporate completely. Form into a ball and turn out onto a floured surface. Roll the dough out to 14 inches and 3/4-inch thick. Blind bake the shell for 10 minutes in a tart pan.
• For the filling. Melt the chocolate and 1 1/3 cup cream together. Pour into the baked shell and chill for 1 hour. Top the ganache with the roasted pecan pieces and chill for another hour. For the caramel: Combine the karo, 3 tablespoons butter, 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the caramel reaches the thread stage, (210 degrees). Allow the caramel to cool before pouring over the top of the ganache. Place a piece of the pie in the center of the plate. Garnish with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, mint and powdered sugar.

TURTLE PIE

Steps:

• If using whole graham crackers, pulse them in a blender or food processor until they are very fine. You can also find graham cracker crumbs in the baking aisle. Measure out 1 & 1/2 cups of crumbs. In a small bowl, combine the crumbs with the sugar and melted butter, mix well until incorporated.
• Press the crust into an un-greased pie pan. Use your fingers and the bottom of a flat cup to evenly distribute the mixture on the bottom and the sides of the pan. Make sure the pie mixture is really compacted.
• Place the pie pan in the freeze while making the filling. If you're preparing the crust days or hours in advance, cover the pie pan with foil or plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
• In a microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips on 50% power, stirring occasionally until fully melted. Allow the chocolate to cool to room temperature before adding it to the filling. *Cooling is critical*
• In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar, beat with an electric mixer for 1 minute or until smooth. Add in the cooled melted chocolate, beat again to combine. Use a spatula to stir in the cool whip, mix well.
• Spread the filling on top of the crust. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4-8 hours, overnight works too!
• Pipe whipped cream swirls around the edge of the pie. Add a pecan on top of each swirl. Add chopped pecans to the center of the pie (add a lot if you really like nuts!). Drizzle caramel and chocolate sauce over the entire pie. Serve right away, or refrigerate until serving.
