Ingredients

2 cups pecan halves
3 tablespoons butter melted
2 teaspoons salt
1 3/4 cups semi sweet chocolate melted
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
2/3 cup corn syrup
7 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, toss pecans with 3 tablespoons melted butter and 2 teaspoons salt. Spread on baking sheet and roast for 13–15 minutes. Let cool.
In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk, corn syrup, 7 tablespoons butter, and water. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
Continue boiling until the mixture reaches 245°F, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Line a baking sheet with parchment. Arrange cooled pecans in clusters of 3–4. Spoon caramel over each cluster and let set.
Spoon melted chocolate over cooled caramel clusters and allow to set completely.
Store in an airtight container in a cool place.

Notes

Use high-quality chocolate for the best results. You can also add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a salty-sweet finish.
