Melt the Caramel:
Unwrap the caramels and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Add one tablespoon of water to help with melting. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the caramel is smooth and fully melted.
Add the Caramel Layer:
Carefully spoon the melted caramel onto the center of each pecan cluster. Don’t be shy—use a generous amount so each candy has a gooey middle.
Melt the Chocolate:
In another microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips in 30-second bursts, stirring until completely smooth.
Top with Chocolate:
Spoon the melted chocolate over the caramel, covering the center of each candy.
Let Them Set:
Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and allow the candies to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
