Ingredients
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 1 cup soft caramels (about 14-16 pieces) or homemade caramel sauce
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (if using soft caramels)
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chips)
- Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)
Directions
- Prepare the Pecans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the pecan halves on a baking sheet and toast them for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are fragrant. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool.
- Make the Caramel: If using soft caramels, place them in a saucepan over low heat. Add the heavy cream to help them melt smoothly. Stir until the caramels are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. If you prefer homemade caramel, prepare it according to your favorite recipe.
