Description
Slow Cooker Chocolate Caramel Pecan Clusters are a simple, rich candy made with layered chocolates, pecans, and caramel, finished with sea salt for the perfect sweet-salty bite. Ideal for holidays, gifting, or snacking!
Ingredients
2 cups pecans
20 oz chocolate almond bark
20 oz white chocolate almond bark
1 cup dark chocolate melting wafers
1 (11 oz) bag caramel bits
Sea salt, for garnish
Instructions
-
Place the 2 cups pecans in a single layer in the bottom of your slow cooker.
-
Break the 20 oz chocolate almond bark and the 20 oz white chocolate almond bark into smaller pieces. Layer them evenly over the pecans.
-
Sprinkle the 1 cup dark chocolate melting wafers over those layers.
-
Cover the slow cooker, set to Low heat, and let the mixture melt, stirring occasionally, until all chocolate layers are fully melted and combined with the pecans. This takes about 1 hour (time may vary depending on your cooker).
-
Once melted and smooth, add the 11 oz caramel bits evenly across the mixture and gently stir until they are incorporated.
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the sheet, spacing each cluster apart.
-
While still warm, sprinkle sea salt on each cluster and press a single pecan on top for garnish.
-
Allow the clusters to set by cooling them at room temperature. For faster setting, you can refrigerate them for a short time until firm.
Notes
Use a dry paper towel under the lid to prevent condensation.
Toast pecans beforehand for extra flavor.
Store in airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
