Ingredients

  • 12 caramels
  • 48 pecan halves
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (can also use chocolate chips)
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Flaked sea salt, as needed

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 225°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unwrap caramels and place them on the baking sheet, 2-inches apart.
  3. Place in oven until the caramels soften and begin to melt, about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven and press 4 pecan halves into each caramel while still soft, forming an 'x' shape. Set aside.
  5. Meanwhile, melt chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  6. Spoon chocolate over the center of each pecan/caramel cluster, about 1 heaping tablespoon per candy.
  7. Sprinkle each candy with flaked sea salt and set aside until chocolate has set, about 1 hour. Alternatively, you can chill to set, but they are best served at room temperature.
