Ingredients
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter *unsalted
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 12 oz chocolate chips *semi-sweet
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spread the pecan halves onto a baking sheet and toast in the oven about 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant and deep golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, butter, and heavy cream. Stir constantly until mixture comes to a boil. Continue cooking about 4-5 minutes, or until caramel thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- ON a parchment paper lined baking sheet, arrange small clusters of the toasted pecans (about 4-5 pecan halves per cluster).
- Spoon a tablespoon of the caramel mixture evenly over each cluster, ensuring that are well coated. Let them cool and set for about 15 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl, in 30 second increments until chocolate is smooth and melted.
- Spoon the melted chocolate over each caramel pecan cluster covering them completely.
- Allow the clusters to set at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate is firm.
- Once chocolate has set, clusters are ready to enjoy!
