Ingredients

  • 24 small pretzel trees
  • 24 vanilla caramels, unwrapped
  • 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips, melted
  • 24 pecan halves, toasted*

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 300°F. Line extra-large cookie sheet with foil; spray foil with cooking spray. Arrange pretzels 1 inch apart on cookie sheet. Top each pretzel with 1 caramel.
  • 2
    Bake 5 to 8 minutes or just until caramels begin to melt.
  • 3
    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°F 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Or spread pecans in thin layer in microwavable pie pan; microwave on High 4 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown.
  • If pretzel “trees” are not available, pretzel twists will work also.
