Chocolate Pecan Turtle Clusters

Chocolate Pecan Turtle Clusters are a delightful combination of chocolate, caramel, and pecans. Here’s a simple recipe for you:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup pecan halves
• 1/2 cup caramel candies, unwrapped
• 1 tablespoon heavy cream
• 8 ounces semi-sweet or milk chocolate, chopped
• Sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Pecans:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Place pecan halves on a baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them. Set aside to cool.
2. Prepare Caramel:
   • In a small saucepan, melt the caramel candies with the heavy cream over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.
3. Assemble the Clusters:
   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   • Arrange the toasted pecans in clusters of 3-4 on the parchment paper, leaving some space between each cluster.
4. Add Caramel:
   • Spoon a small amount of melted caramel over each cluster of pecans.
5. Melt Chocolate:
   • In a heatproof bowl, melt the chopped chocolate in the microwave or using a double boiler. Stir until smooth.
6. Coat with Chocolate:
   • Spoon melted chocolate over each caramel-covered cluster, ensuring the pecans are well-coated.
7. Chill:
   • Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set. This typically takes about 30 minutes.
8. Optional:
   • If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over the chocolate before it sets completely for a sweet and salty contrast.
9. Serve:
   • Once the chocolate has set, remove the clusters from the refrigerator.
   • Serve and enjoy these delicious Chocolate Pecan Turtle Clusters!
