Ingredients

• 2 cups Pecan halves
• 1 pound Soft caramel candies
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil (or shortening)

Directions

Step 1

Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

Arrange the pecan halves into small piles of 3 on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a bit of space between each cluster.

Step 3

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the soft caramel candies and heavy cream. Microwave on high in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the caramel is fully melted and smooth (this should take about 1-2 minutes).

Step 4

Using a spoon, drizzle approximately 1 tablespoon of melted caramel over each pecan cluster, ensuring the caramel glues the pecans together. Let the caramel set for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 5

While the caramel sets, use another microwave-safe bowl to melt the semisweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil (or shortening) in the microwave, again in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.

Step 6

Spoon or drizzle the melted chocolate over each cluster to coat the caramel. Use the back of your spoon to smooth out the chocolate, if needed.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cluster for an added burst of flavor. Let the clusters set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate them for 15 minutes to speed up the process.

Step 8

Once the chocolate is firm, gently peel the clusters off the parchment paper and transfer them to an airtight container for storage. The clusters can be kept at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerated for up to two weeks.

Step 9

Serve as a special treat for Valentine's Day or gift in decorative packaging for loved ones to enjoy!
