For each cookie, group 5 pecan halves (to form head and 4 legs like a turtle) on ungreased cookie sheet. Shape dough by teaspoonfuls around caramel pieces and press firmly onto center of each group of pecans.
Bake until set but not brown, 12-15 minutes. Cool. Dip tops of cookies in chocolate glaze.
For Glaze: Beat powdered sugar, water, chocolate and vanilla until smooth. If necessary, stir in water 1 tsp. at a time until desired consistency.
