Turtles....a secret recipe

Not these turtles.

Definitely not these turtles!

A few weeks ago I was in my favorite fabric shop in Berlin, Ohio, the Country Craft Cupboard.  As I'm getting all my pretty pieces of homespun and calico's cut I noticed a lovely dessert beside the cutting table.  Everything I crave was sitting right there....chocolate, caramel, nuts.  After asking around I found the kind lady who made it and begged for her recipe.  She gave it to me freely plus a nice big sample to taste!  What more could you ask for....fabric and sweets!!

I called it a secret because they are so simple to make.  Don't want to get the word out that I didn't slave over something this tasty to eat!   xo Jenn
