 Categories: Candy, Dairy, Nuts, Chocolate
      Yield: 48 Servings

      1 lb Pecan halves; toasted
     14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
    3/4 c  Light corn syrup
    1/2 c  Sugar
    1/3 c  Brown sugar; packed
    1/4 c  Butter; in cubes
  1 1/2 ts Vanilla extract
      1 lb Milk chocolate candy
           - coating; chopped
           Flaked sea salt (optional)

  On waxed paper-lined baking sheets, arrange pecans in small
  clusters of 4 to 5 pecans each.

  For caramel, in a small saucepan, combine the milk, corn syrup, and
  sugars. Cook and stir over medium heat until a candy thermometer
  reads 238°F/114°C (soft-ball stage). Remove from the heat. Stir in
  butter and vanilla. Working quickly, spoon caramel onto pecan
  clusters. Let stand until set.

  In a microwave, melt candy coating; stir until smooth. Spoon over
  caramel. If desired, top with flake sea salt. Chill for 10 minutes
  or until set. Store in an airtight container.
