Ingredients
1
cup
pecan halves
18-20
Kraft caramels - unwrapped
12
Hershey's caramel apple filled chocolates

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.
