Ingredients
  

For the Clusters
  • 2 cups Pecans A delightful crunch and nuttiness; substitute with walnuts or almonds for a different flavor.
  • 2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips The perfect coating for a rich chocolate flavor; dark chocolate brings a deeper taste.
  • 1 cup Caramel Sauce Adds gooey sweetness and binds the ingredients together; feel free to use store-bought or homemade.
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt Elevates the flavor with a sweet-salty contrast; adjust to your liking for the best balance.
For Topping (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Additional Sea Salt A pinch on top enhances flavor; this can bring out the sweetness of your Chocolate Pecan Turtle Clusters perfectly.

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Spread the pecans evenly on the baking sheet and toast them for about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of melted chocolate onto the lined baking sheet and gently press a few toasted pecans onto each dollop.
  5. Generously drizzle caramel sauce over each cluster and sprinkle a touch of sea salt on top if desired.
  6. Let the clusters cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate for quicker setting.
