- For the caramel:.
- Heat the second cream in a small pan up to the boil.
- Shut off heat and keep warm.
- In a large sauce pan, combine sugar water and lemon juice and cook to a medium caramel color. Be extremely careful -- this will be 'very hot'.
- Remove from heat and carefully add the hot heavy cream.
- Stir until a smooth caramel.
- Caution, use a cooking vessel much larger than necessary because the hot caramel will boil up and could splatter.

- Remove paper cups and place turtles on a wire rack.
- Melt dark chocolate and spoon over turtles.
