Ingredients
- 2 cups chopped pecans (one 8 oz bag)
- 11 oz Werther's chewy caramels (you can also use Kraft chewy caramels)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste or Pure Vanilla Extract
- 3 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon heavy cream
Instructions
- Unwrap all chewy caramels and set aside.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over low/medium heat. Add chewy caramels and vanilla then stir. Add heavy cream to loosen it and continue stirring until mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Once caramel is melted down, and all ingredients are combined, remove from heat and add chopped pecans to the caramel and stir. Prepare a bowl or Tupperware container by coating it with cooking spray and then pour in caramel pecan mixture.
- Transfer to the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes.
- Use a 1¼' cookie scoop to scoop the pecan caramel mixture (lightly coat your scoop in cooking spray to help prevent caramel from sticking).
- Place the rolled pecan clusters on baking sheet lined with wax paper and allow them to set.
- Serve at room temperature in a mini cupcake liner or without a liner on a plate after they've set.
