Delicious.. I changed none of the ingredients, just the method. I nuked the caramels in in the microwave 90 secs, stirred it up a bit and nuked for another 30 seconds or so until it was melted, and just spooned it over 4 pecan halves on wax paper coated with non stick spray, stuck in freezer for 10 minutes, pulled out and dipped in the chocolate. They were pretty doggone good. I double dipped them in chocolate, once with semi sweet chips and the second time with chocolate bark. These went over BIG at my moms, 40 testers, gave it a big thumbs up.

Admittedly, I did not use storebought caramels because I was scared of them turning rockhard like others noted. I used the Caramels recipe off this site and it worked out wonderfully. I used the semisweet chips called for for half the batch, chocolate almond bark for the the half. Gotta say that I preferred the almond bark coating on these. Thanks! :)

Caramels were way to hard.

You can also make these in the microwave. It takes just a few seconds. I don't wait for these to melt. I let them heat up enough to push down on the pecans, cool down then dip in melted chocolate.

Tastes great, but hard to eat! Looks impressive as a homemade gift or part of your holiday cookie tray. I made the first batch just as the recipe reads, but the caramel ended up rock hard. I even lowered the oven temp to 250. Then I read some of the other reviews..... For the second batch, I microwaved the caramels with a tbsp of milk. Once melted, I stirred in some chopped pecans and dropped by spoonfuls onto waxed paper then I coated them in chocolate. After chilling, they looked great, except the caramel was so sticky, I couldn't peel it off the paper!! Finaly, after some time in the freezer, the caramel hardened up enough to peel the candy off the paper. I would make these again, but be sure to coat your waxed paper or foil with plenty of cooking spray to keep the candy from sticking!

Like others I wish I'd read the comments first! I'm throwing this rock hard mess in the trash and using another's suggestion of melting the caramel in the microwave. With the price of pecans I'm just glad I didn't make a bigger batch!
