Equipment

1 baking sheet
1 pot

Ingredients

20 caramels
1 tbsp milk
1 cup candied pecans halves
1 cup chocolate chips semi sweet
1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and make 12 pecan clusters by placing 3 to 4 pecan halves together in spots on the baking sheet. Melt your caramels in a medium saucepan with the milk.
Once melted place a dollop of caramel over each cluster of pecans on the baking sheet. Let the caramel set for 10 minutes.
In a bowl, melt the chocolate chips at 30 second intervals in the microwave, stirring in between each time until completely melted and smooth. Dip each cluster into the melted chocolate until completely drenched.
Place back on the parchment paper and sprinkle with a little coarse salt. Repeat with all the caramel clusters and place in the refrigerator until the chocolate is hardened. Enjoy your pecan turtles or package away in a sealed container.
