Ingredients

• 2 cups Pecan halves
• 12 ounces Soft caramels
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spread the pecan halves on a baking sheet in a single layer. Toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes until fragrant. Let them cool completely.

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Arrange clusters of 3-4 pecan halves in small piles on the baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the soft caramels and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Using a spoon, carefully drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the melted caramel over each pecan cluster. Let the caramel cool and set for about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Melt the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 15-20 second intervals and stirring until completely melted and smooth.

Step 6

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate over each caramel-covered pecan cluster, ensuring the caramel is coated. Sprinkle with a small pinch of sea salt if desired.

Step 7

Allow the clusters to set at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate is firm.

Step 8

Store the pecan clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve and enjoy!
