  90                    Pecan halves
  28                    Vanilla caramels
   2       ts           Water
     1/2   c            Semi-sweet chocolate pieces

  Toast pecan halves by spreading in a single layer in a shallow
  baking pan. Toast in 350°F oven about 10 minutes, stirring
  occasionally. Line a baking sheet with foil; butter foil. On the
  prepared baking sheet arrange the pecan halves in groups of three,
  placing flat side of pecans down; set aside.

  In a heavy 1 qt saucepan combine caramels and water. Cook over low
  heat; stir constantly until caramels are melted and smooth.

  Remove saucepan from heat. Drop about 1 ts caramel mixture onto
  each group of pecans. Let stand about 20 minutes or until caramel
  is firm.

  In a small saucepan, heat the chocolate over low heat, stirring
  constantly, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove saucepan
  from heat. With a narrow metal spatula spread a small amount of
  chocolate over top of each caramel center. Let stand until firm;
  remove candy from baking sheet. Store tightly covered.
