1 bag (12 oz / 340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Optional: 1 tsp coconut oil or shortening (for smoother coating and shine)
✅ Optional Upgrades:
Sprinkle of sea salt after chocolate sets (salted caramel style!)
Use dark, milk, or white chocolate for variety
Add mini pretzels for a “turtle bark” twist
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Toast the Pecans
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread pecan halves in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Toast 8–10 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden.
Let cool completely—warm nuts can cause caramel to slide off.
✅ Don’t skip toasting—it deepens flavor and adds crunch.
2. Melt the Caramels
In a microwave-safe bowl:
