How to Make

  • Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Step 2: Melt chocolate in a double boiler or microwave for 1 minute. Stir till smooth. Additional 15 seconds if needed.

  • Step 3: Put a small dot of melted chocolate down scattered on the paper and arrange 3 pecans to meet on the chocolate. (This will keep the caramel from leaking through!)

  • Step 5: Pour 1-2 teaspoons of melted caramel over each cluster. Allow to set.

  • Step 7: Pour about a teaspoon of melted chocolate over the caramel.

  • Step 8: Allow to cool for a minute or so, then sprinkle with sea salt/Maldon salt if desired.

  • Step 9: Store in airtight container for 3 weeks or freeze and separate layers with wax paper.
