These tasty pecan caramel clusters are the ideal recipe for home-made sweets, suitable for Christmas or Valentine’s Day. If you like homemade turtles, you’ll love to have a special treat with this chewy pecan caramel candy dipped in chocolate. I wanted to make Pecan Carmel Clusters because the aromas of chewy homemade caramel, chopped pecans, and heavenly chocolate all combined into one blissful candy are just a heavenly bite here on earth.
The first time I had this Pecan Carmel Clusters was during a Halloween Party for my niece. I went to the kitchen to help with the preparation and saw my sister making this dessert. It was wonderful and so elegant that I had a taste test. It was so funny because I almost ate half of what should be served that my sister pats me and told me to stop eating before I could finish it all. Children will love this, and for sure adults too. Make your version of this recipe for Pecan Carmel Clusters, and enjoy it with your family and friends.
