Ingredients:
– 1 cup pecan halves
– 1 cup soft caramels (about 20 caramels), unwrapped
– 1 tbsp heavy cream
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate if preferred)
– Sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Pecans:**
– Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange pecan halves in small clusters (3-4 pecans per cluster) to form the base.
2. **Melt the Caramel:**
– In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unwrapped caramels and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the caramel is smooth.
3. **Assemble the Clusters:**
– Spoon a small amount of melted caramel over each pecan cluster, covering the center but leaving the edges of the pecans exposed. Allow the caramel to set for a few minutes.
4. **Add the Chocolate:**
– In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
– Drizzle or spoon the melted chocolate over each caramel-topped pecan cluster.
5. **Optional Sea Salt:**
– Sprinkle sea salt over the chocolate while it’s still soft, if desired.
6. **Chill and Serve:**
– Place the baking sheet in the fridge for 20-30 minutes to allow the clusters to set completely.
