Coffee Turtles

We saw a commercial on TV about homemade candies, specifically Turtles. I said, I can do this.
I liberally sprayed and filled mini muffin pans with about 1.5 tbs of slivered almonds and 1 caramel cube cut into 4 small pieces. Place in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes or until the caramel is melted. In the meantime, using a double boiler, I melted chocolate on the stovetop adding 2 tbs of instant coffee after it melted. Don't let the bubbling water touch the bottom of your chocolate bowl.
After the caramel is melted, top each muffin cup with the chocolate and place in refrigerator to set. After they set  pluck each Turtle out of the pan and let set at room temperature 1 hour before serving. Well my picture didn't look as good as they tasted but they turned out delicious.
