Chocolate-Covered Caramel Nut Turtles

1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 cup dark corn syrup
1 cup butter
2 cups evaporated milk, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups pecan halves
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted

Combine the sugars, syrup, butter and 1 cup of the evaporated milk, and bring to a boil. Add the other cup of evaporated milk slowly, stirring constantly, and cook until it reaches 255 degrees on a candy thermometer. Add the vanilla and pecans and mix well. Pour into a 9 by 11-inch greased pan and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature, cut into squares then dip in chocolate. If you'd like to make a turtle, spoon dollops of the caramel pecan mixture onto a greased sheet pan, with 5 pecans in each mound (4 legs and head). Refrigerate to set, then dip in chocolate.

If you're looking for a something more natural?
Vegan Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients:
1/2 c + 2 T organic evaporated cane juice
20 oz. regular tofu
2 t vanilla
8 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate

Steps
* Use the tofu cold from the refrigerator. In your food processor, combine all of the ingredients except the chocolate. Whirl until the mixture is absolutely smooth, scraping the sides frequently.
* Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, microwave (on a very low power) or over an extremely low heat on the cook top (some commercial style cook tops have a heat setting this low.) Careful not to burn or boil the chocolate. You want to heat until most, not all, of the chocolate is melted. Then stir briskly to melt the remainder.
* Add the melted chocolate to the tofu mixture, wait 10 seconds and whirl until very well blended. When the chocolate hits the cold tofu, it will begin to solidify. This is okay because this is what gives you the delightful, tiny chocolate bits.
* Spoon the mousse into your most beautiful wine or champagne glasses. Serve cold

A soul conscious meditation
A simple meditation for you to connect with throughout your day.

I now withdraw my attention away from the world around me.........
My eyes are open and rested.............
I focus my thoughts energy on myself ....
I the being of light.........
Thoughts of the outside world gradually fade away as I feel a burden being lifted from my mind.......
I see my physical on the screen of my mind ...
I realize that I am not my physical body, it is merely an instrument for the transport of my soul.....
I am an eternal point of life positive energy....
This point of energy is the life force of the body......
In this state of awareness I become pure energy and consciousness........
Thoughts emerging on the screen of my mind are being viewed like watching a movie on a picture screen......
I allow the negative thoughts to pass without being distracted by them .......
For I am an eternal radiant light ..
Shinning like a star in the midnight sky........
I concentrate my thoughts on this one aspect ...That I am a concentrated spark of light ....
Radiating light and love to the world.......
As my thoughts concentrate I fill with power ....
I become light .....
floating......
I find deep peace within.
