    Ingredients

    • 1 cup pecan halves (3 1/4 ounces)
    • 12 soft caramel-candy cubes
    • 1 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, broken into 12 pieces (1/2 inch each)

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange pecans in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; toast in oven until fragrant, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven (leave oven on); set aside 36 pecans on baking sheet. Finely chop remaining pecans (for about 1/4 cup); set aside.
    2. When pecans are cool enough to handle, make 12 clusters by arranging 2 pecans vertically, side by side, below 1 pecan placed horizontally. Gently flatten each caramel; place 1 on top of each cluster. Bake clusters 5 minutes. Remove from oven (leave oven on).
    3. Place 1 piece of chocolate on top of each cluster. Return to oven; bake until chocolate begins to melt, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from oven.With the back of a spoon, gently spread chocolate over caramel without completely covering it.
    4. Sprinkle clusters with reserved chopped pecans. Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes. Bring to room temperature before serving.

      When following the directions as written the clusters turned out perfect for us.
      We will be making more and many have already enjoyed the holiday treat.
      I love when a recipe really works like the recipe says it will.
      Thanks to you all for this keeper!!!!!

      Caramel was too hard to eat and pecans ended up very dry.
