Homemade 2-Ingredient Turtle Candy

"This is a mini version of the Turtles Candy that is sold by a major manufacturer and in fine candy shops. The commercial candy is no longer safe for anyone who is gluten intolerant, and this is a handy way to make just the number you want. The pecan sits under the chocolate and caramel and can be eaten warm or cooled. It only requires 2 ingredients. They are not identical to the commercial candy but they are very close."
