Ingredients
- 1 cup pecan halves – For that essential nutty crunch! Toasting them lightly beforehand brings out even more flavor.
- 1 cup soft caramel candies – These add the chewy, gooey layer to our clusters. Unwrap them all beforehand to make melting easier.
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream – Helps melt the caramels smoothly and makes the caramel layer soft and creamy.
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips – These will be the top layer of our turtle clusters. Semi-sweet chocolate balances the caramel’s sweetness beautifully.
- ½ teaspoon sea salt (optional) – A sprinkle on top gives a delightful sweet-salty flavor and brings out all the other tastes.
