Make an army of turtles to put a smile on a child's face today!
Ingredients
- 1/2 c butter or margarine
- 3 1/2 T cocoa
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 c sugar
- 1/4 t salt
- 1 t vanilla flavoring
- 1 c flour
- 1/4 c caramel sauce or dip
- 30-40 pecan halves, toasted if desired
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt margarine. Add cocoa.
- Remove from heat and mix in other ingredients
- Refrigerate batter for 15 minutes
- While batter rests, prepare pecans by placing them on a baking sheet and into the oven at 250° for 10 minutes to lightly toast.
- Heat waffle iron to Medium Heat
- Spray top and bottom of waffle iron with non-stick spray and place small scoops (tip of spoon) of batter onto the grid.
- Allow to cook 1-2 minutes. Set a timer if you like, but there's quite a bit of flexibility on the time and you're not going to burn them unless you completely forget them for several minutes.
- Remove from waffle iron by gently piercing with a fork, and place them onto a paper towel to cool.
- Top with a drizzle of ice cream caramel or apple-dipping caramel, and press a pecan half into the caramel. Allow to dry, then store in an air-tight container either in the fridge or at room temperature.
