Dove Chocolate At Home Discoveries  
Chocolate Turtle Martini 
Dove Chocolate Cocoa powder 
Caramel sauce, in a squeeze bottle with

      a very small tip 
1 oz Dove Chocolate Martini Mix

2 oz vanilla vodka (Stoli Vanilla) 
2 oz white crème de cacao 
2 oz Praline New Orleans Style

      Pecan Liqueur 
Crushed ice 
Roasted pecan halves, for garnish 
Roughly chopped chocolate squares, for garnish 
 
Directions: 
Take a large martini glass and very carefully coat the rim in caramel sauce from the squeeze bottle, being careful not to let it drip too far down the sides. Then, dip the entire rim of the glass into the cocoa powder, being sure to coat all of the caramel. For the drink, shake the vodka, crème de cacao and praline liqueur in a martini shaker with ice to chill. Fill the martini glass nearly full with crushed or shaved ice, being careful not to touch the rim. Strain the drink into the martini glass.  
 
Garnish atop the floating ice with a roasted pecan half and a small piece of chopped chocolate. Alternately, I have garnished it with a half of a Turtle candy by making an incision and hanging it on the rim of the glass.
