Steps:
- In a large skillet, toast the pecans over medium high heart for a few minutes.
- Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Arrange the toasted pecans in groups of 3 leaving about an inch of space between each group. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
- Stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and sweetened condensed milk. Cook and stir continuously until it reaches 235-240F on a candy thermometer.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
- Drizzle about 1/2 tablespoon of caramel over each cluster, set aside.
- Fill a pot about 1/4 of the way with water, and fit with a bowl that won't touch the bottom of the pot to create a double boiler.
- Heat the pot over medium heat.
- After letting it heat up for a few minutes, start to stir the chocolate chips until they are fully melted and smooth.
- Stir in the shortening and spoon about 1/2 tablespoon on the top of each cluster.
- Once the chocolate has cooled serve immediately or store in an airtight container with parchment paper between each layer of clusters.

CHOCOLATE PECAN CARAMEL CLUSTERS
Steps:
- For the caramel: Mix 2 cups sugar, 1/4 cup light corn syrup and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring just until the sugar dissolves. Cook, swirling the pan (do not stir), until the mixture is light amber and a candy thermometer registers 320 degrees, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; slowly whisk in 1/2 cup heavy cream, then 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Return to low heat and whisk until smooth.
- Stir 1 1/3 cups chopped nuts into the warm caramel; cool until the mixture is thick enough to hold its shape. Drop spoonfuls onto an oiled parchment-lined baking sheet; let set. Top with melted chocolate and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

I made these "turtle-like" concoctions one Christmas for a sweets exchange. My dad saw them on the counter waiting to be boxed up and couldn't believe I made them. He said they looked like they came from a candy shop. That's the best compliment I've ever received. -Carrie Burke Conway, Massachusetts

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange pecans in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; toast in oven until fragrant, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven (leave oven on); set aside 36 pecans on baking sheet. Finely chop remaining pecans (for about 1/4 cup); set aside.
