Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare a baking sheet
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Step 2: Melt the chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
Step 3: Melt the caramel
In a small saucepan, melt caramel bits with heavy cream over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
Step 4: Assemble the clusters
-
Place 2–3 pecan halves on the parchment sheet for each cluster.
-
Spoon a small amount of melted caramel over the pecans.
-
Drizzle or spoon melted chocolate on top, fully covering the caramel and pecans.
Step 5: Set and finish
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each cluster, if desired. Let the clusters cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or refrigerate for 15 minutes until firm.
