Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange pecan halves into small clusters on the prepared baking sheet.

Spoon the melted chocolate generously over the pecan clusters.
Melt caramel candies with butter in a separate bowl using 30-second intervals, stirring well.
Drizzle the melted caramel over the chocolate-coated pecan clusters.
Refrigerate the clusters for 30 minutes to set.
Carefully peel the clusters off the parchment and store them in an airtight container.
