Instructions:

  1. Prepare Pecans: Spread pecans on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat. Arrange them in small clusters (about 3-4 pecans each).
  2. Melt Caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the mixture is smooth and pourable.
  3. Assemble Clusters: Spoon about 1 teaspoon of melted caramel over each pecan cluster, letting it slightly spread.
  4. Melt Chocolate: Melt chocolate chips and shortening in another bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring each time until smooth.
  5. Add Chocolate Layer: Spoon a layer of melted chocolate over each caramel cluster. Optionally, sprinkle sea salt on top before the chocolate sets.
  6. Cool and Set: Let the clusters cool at room temperature or refrigerate them for about 15 minutes until fully set.

Conclusion:
Chocolate Pecan Turtle Clusters are quick, fun, and rich treats that combine classic flavors of chocolate, caramel, and nuts. Perfectly suited for gifting or as a sweet snack, these clusters are simple to make but feel luxurious, making them ideal for any occasion
