How to Make Love Nibbles Valentine's Caramel Pecan Clusters

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter two baking sheets.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 14 ounces (397g) caramels, 1/4 cup (57g) butter, and 2 tablespoons water.
  3. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth and melted. (Microwave wattage varies; adjust time as needed).
  4. Stir in 1 cup (100g) pecan halves.
  5. Drop rounded teaspoons of the caramel mixture onto the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Chill the baking sheets in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or freeze for 15-20 minutes, until firm.
  7. While clusters chill, coarsely chop 6 ounces (170g) dark chocolate and 6 ounces (170g) almond bark or white candy coating.
  8. Melt the chopped chocolate and bark in a microwave-safe bowl on high for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth.
  9. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
  10. Dip the chilled pecan clusters into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
  11. Place the chocolate-covered clusters onto the waxed paper-lined baking sheet.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes until the chocolate is set.
