In regards to cooking healthy meals for the own families, there's obviously some level of dissention among the positions. The fantastic thing is there are recipes that have become healthy but also the healthful nature of those recipes is somewhat concealed. What they do not know in these instances shouldn't attract harm their manner (out allergies, which should not be discounted ).

This usually means at any particular time on your cooking learning cycles there's quite probably some one somewhere that is worse or better at cooking more compared to you. Take heart from this because even the most effective have bad days when it comes to cooking. There are a number of people who cook for different factors. Some cook as a way to consume and survive although some cook because they actually like the process of cooking. Some cook through the times of emotional trauma and many others cook out of sheer boredom. No matter your reason for cooking or learning to cook you should always begin with the basics.

The fantastic thing is that once you've heard the basics of cooking it's unlikely that you will ever have to displace them. Which usually means you may constantly buildup and expand your own cooking skills. Since you find new recipes and better your culinary skills and talents you will discover that preparing your meals from scratch is far more rewarding than preparing pre packaged meals that are purchased from the shelves of your regional supermarkets.

Many things affect the quality of taste from QUICK TURTLES, starting from the type of ingredients, then the selection of fresh ingredients, the ability to cut dishes to how to make and serve them. Don't worry if you want to prepare QUICK TURTLES delicious at home, because if you already know the trick then this dish can be used as an extraordinary special treat.

Just in addition, the time it takes to cook QUICK TURTLES estimated approx 1 hour.

To get started with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can cook QUICK TURTLES using 13 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you cook that.

I wanted to do something different this year by incorporating nuts.I ran out of time however, to make what I intended but already purchased the ingredients. Turtle clusters seemed ideal but the "from scratch" recipes took more time and energy than I had left. I had the bag of caramels so I thought "how hard could it be to just use those?". Its not! I only needed to soften them. First attempt left me with a burnt, hard, inedible mess after only 30 seconds but attempt #2, (2, 5 second intervals) softened them enough to be maleable yet hold shape. I tried to roll it in nuts, but the nuts didnt stick very well. Since I already had melted chocolate, I poured spoonfuls over it and had my first turtle cluster. Not great but good enough. So i got my son to do the prep work while I got the chocolate ready and when I returned he had solved the loose nut problem by flattening the caramels and wrapping them around the nuts.

Ingredients and spices that need to be Prepare to make QUICK TURTLES:

1. ingredients
2. 1 packages caramels. # of caramels determines # of turtles. I.e bag of 36 will yield 36 (*see step 6 for exception*)
3. 1 packages chocolate candy melts. (a bag of chocolate chips from your regular grocery store or 1 bag of wilton chocolate candy wafers is sufficient for 36 caramels)
4. 1 packages chopped walnuts (or any other nut of choice) size depends on # of caramels.
5. 1 freezer
6. preparation
7. 1 chocolate melter, double boiler, slow cooker, microwavable container, or makeshift melter. **see step 7 for details**
8. 1 microwave
9. 1 microwavable plate
10. 1 at least 1 sheet of parchment or wax paper
11. 1 dipping utencil. toothpicks or skewers or a spoon will work.
12. 1 mobile flat surface. (cookie sheet, plate, etc.)
13. 1 water

Instructions to make to make QUICK TURTLES

1. Unwrap caramels and place on microwavable plate with a little space between them.
2. Put in microwave for 5-10 seconds. I recommend no more than 12 caramels at a time.
3. Check softness. They should be just soft enough to flatten with your fingers. If not, microwave at 5 second intervals until desired softness is reached. If they cook too long they will harden. They can also be softened via any heat producing device. Oven, stove top, heat vent...blow dryer perhaps?
4. Flatten caramels with fingers.
5. Place (approximately a spoonful of) walnuts in centers of flattened caramels. Chopped nuts work best but any size or type will work.
6. Wrap edges of caramels around the walnuts so the nuts won't fall out. If you prefer to not enclose the walnuts with the caramel you can also press them together. The idea is to have some kind of cluster consisting of caramel and nuts. (*For extra large turtles, sanwhich two spoonfulls of nuts with 2 caramels*).
7. Melt chocolate. If you have a chocolate melter then follow its instructions and move on to step 8. If not then read on. A special chocolate melting device is optional. Personally, I use an electric griddle (with the temperature set just below 200º), with glass casserole dishes on it (filled with a shallow 1/2 inch of water), and small, glass sauce bowls (I found at dollar tree, 4 for a $1) in the casserole dishes (water will rise when bowls are placed in it so don't overfill). They combine to become a makeshift double boiler that allows me to melt multiple chocolate varieties and colors simultaneously. Only one variety is necessary for the purposes of this recipe unless you plan to get fancy. Anything that warms up slowly and heats at a low temperature will work. I've even seen people use the hot plate of their coffee machine. You can even use a microwave however, no 2 microwaves are the same so I suggest researching that method first. I personally found the microwave to be more diffic
8. Dip caramel nut clusters into chocolate. You can use skewers, toothpicks, or just a spoon (though the spoon method is messier). Whatever you use, the object is to completely submerge the cluster in the chocolate. If you use a small shallow dish you will have to make a few, then add more wafers and wait for them to melt. If you use a tall narrow container they will be easier to submerge but not so easy to dip and retrieve with a toothpick. The spoon metjod, though messy is convenient when the chocolate supply becomes diminished. You can use it to scrape the sides and pour the chocolate over the top of the cluster when the remaining melt is too shallow for submersion.
9. Place clusters on parchment/wax paper. The parchment paper should be layed out on a cookie sheet or plate for transport.
10. Once plate is full put it in the freezer so the chocolate hardens. Leave clusters in freezer for a minimum of 5 minutes. 10-15 minutes is ideal for most chocolate varieties but they can be left in the freezer for a few hours without harming them.
11. Remove from freezer and serve. If they were in the freezer for more than an hour the centers may be too hard to eat. Let them warm to room temperature before serving or storing in the refrigerator. They do not need to be refrigerated however. A sealable container or plastc bag is sufficient for storing. They keep for quite a long time unlike other treats such as cookies.
