Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup caramel bites, I used kraft caramel bits, the unwrapped caramel you melt.
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk, as needed to thin
  • 2 cups chopped pecans
  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil, refined if you don't want a coconut flavor
  • flakey sea salt

Instructions
 

  • In a small sauce pan over medium low heat add the caramel and 2 tablespoons milk. Stir the caramel continuously until it melts completely smooth. If needed add additional milk to thin it to a pourable consistency.
  • Stir in the chopped pecans until completely coated.
  • Spoon the pecan mixture into one tablespoon mounds on parchment paper. Place in the freezer at least two hours.
  • In a small saucepan add the dark chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Stir continuously over medium low heat until smooth. If needed, add additional coconut oil to make the chocolate smooth.
  • Working quickly dip the frozen candy clusters in the dark chocolate. I use a fork and toss the candy in the melted chocolate and then tap fork on the edge of the saucepan to remove excess chocolate.
  • Set the chocolate covered candy on the parchment paper. Sprinkle with sea salt and place in the fridge to allow the chocolate to set.
