Spoon the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, letting some drip down the sides, and nudging it around so it covers the top of the caramel completely.
Place the baking sheet of candies in the refrigerator to fully set the chocolate and caramel, for at least 30 minutes.
For the best taste and texture, serve the turtles at room temperature. Extras can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator or at cool room temperature for up to two weeks.
Alternately, you can just drop them in small clusters on the baking sheet.
Unwrap the caramels if wrapped and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. If they are very stiff, add a spoonful of water so the final product will be softer.
Microwave them until melted, stirring after every 30 seconds.
