Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 300 degrees. Line a large cookie sheet with foil; spray foil with cooking spray. Arrange pretzels 1 inch apart on cookie sheet. Top each pretzel with 1 caramel.

Bake 5-8 minutes or just until caramels begin to melt.

Remove cookie sheet from oven. Spoon about 1 teaspoon melted chocolate onto each caramel; immediately press 1 pecan half onto each. Place cookie sheet in freezer until candy is set, about 10 minutes. Peel candies from foil.

TO TOAST PECANS: spread on cookie sheet; bake at 350 degrees for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
Or spread pecans in thin layer in microwavable pie pan; microwave on High 4-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown.
