- 11 oz caramel squares unwrapped
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the toasted pecans in 24 small clusters.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unwrapped caramel squares and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the melted caramel over each pecan cluster, ensuring the caramel binds the pecans together. Let set for 10 minutes.
- In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals until smooth.
- Spoon the melted chocolate over the caramel layer of each cluster.
- Sprinkle the tops with flaky sea salt while the chocolate is still warm.
- Allow the clusters to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.
Notes
