Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread 2 cups of pecans evenly on a baking sheet and toast them for about 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through for even browning.
 - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter with 1 cup of light brown sugar, ½ cup of granulated sugar, ½ cup of light corn syrup, and ¾ cup of sweetened condensed milk. Microwave on high for about 6 minutes, stirring halfway through.
 - Once the caramel is heated, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Add the chopped pecans, stirring gently until well-coated.
 - Transfer the pecan mixture into a greased baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
 - Melt 2 cups of chopped chocolate in another microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until completely smooth.
 - Scoop out small portions of the cooled pecan mixture and shape into clusters. Dip each into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
 - Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set and hardened.

Notes
For best results, use a candy thermometer to ensure the caramel reaches 240°F. Use parchment paper instead of wax paper for easy release. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
