Ingredients & What They Do
2 cups pecan halves (lightly toasted): Add a nutty crunch and buttery flavor that anchors the candy. Toasting enhances the flavor for a deeper richness.
1 package (11 oz) soft caramels (unwrapped): Provides the chewy, golden center. Using soft, pre-made caramels makes the process easy and foolproof.
2 tablespoons heavy cream: Softens and smooths the caramel, making it easier to spoon and more luxurious in texture.
2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate): Melts to form a glossy, irresistible coating. Choose milk chocolate for a sweeter bite or semi-sweet for a balanced flavor.
1 tablespoon vegetable or coconut oil (optional): Helps create a smoother, shinier chocolate topping that’s easier to drizzle.
Sea salt (optional): Adds a touch of gourmet flair and enhances the sweet and nutty flavors.
White chocolate (optional): Drizzled on top for decorative contrast and added sweetness.
