Ingredients

  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 18-20 Kraft caramels - unwrapped
  • 12 Hershey's caramel apple filled chocolates
  • Sea salt to garnish

Instructions

  • Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Make 12 piles of 5-6 pecan halves on the lined cookie sheet.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, melt the caramels in 30 second increments until completely melted and smooth.
  • Add about 1 Tablespoon of the melted caramel on top of each pile of pecans. Be sure to cover every pecan piece so they will stick together.
  • While the caramel is still warm sprinkle with sea salt and place a Hershey's caramel filled apple candy on top. Sprinkle with sea salt again.
  • Allow to cool and "firm up" for 1 hour before serving.

Notes

*Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
