Ingredients
– 1 1/4 cups pecans (130 grams) for crunch and nutty flavor
– 1 1/4 cups unwrapped soft caramel candies (170 grams) for sweet, gooey base
– 1/2 tablespoon heavy cream to help melt the caramels smoothly
– 2/3 cup chopped chocolate (4 ounces or 113 grams) for rich topping
Instructions
1-Arrange clusters of 3-4 pecans each, whether halved or whole, on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a silicone mini cupcake pan. Aim for 18-20 clusters to get just the right amount.
2-Combine the unwrapped soft caramel candies and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. This mix will create that gooey center we all love.
3-Microwave the caramel mixture in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until it’s melted and smooth. Keep an eye on it to avoid any mess.
4-Spoon small amounts of the melted caramel evenly over each pecan cluster. Let it sit for a few minutes so the caramel starts to harden just a bit.
5-Melt the chopped chocolate in the microwave using 15-second intervals, stirring between each one, until it’s completely smooth and ready to use.
6-Spoon or pipe the melted chocolate over the caramel-covered pecan clusters for that final, yummy layer.
7-Chill the clusters in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes until both the caramel and chocolate are fully set. Once done, they’re perfect for eating or storing.
