Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups pecan halves
2 (12 ounce) bags chocolate chips
25 individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
2 tablespoons water
½ cup butter, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Arrange pecans on a baking sheet.
  • Bake pecans in the preheated oven until fragrant and lightly browned, 7 minutes.
  • Melt chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching.
