  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place your pecan halves on a baking sheet; transfer to the oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes until toasted and fragrant. (Alternatively, you can add them to a hot non-stick skillet, stirring constantly until they are fragrant, about 5 minutes.)
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper (that can also fit in the refrigerator or freezer.) Make 18 small mounds, about 5 pecan halves in each one depending on their size. (Overlap the pecans some to reduce gaps, otherwise the caramel will seep through.)
  • Add the caramels and water to a microwave safe bowl (making sure it's free of any debris or moisture) and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring each time, until fully melted and stirred together fully. (The first few times you try to stir, it feels impossible, but eventually they do soften and you'll be able to stir them until smooth. The caramel will be runny when it first comes together, but firms up quite a bit as it cools.)
  • As soon as your caramel is ready, quickly spoon a 2 teaspoons of the hot caramel on top of the clusters, making sure each pecan is covered with some caramel. Don’t worry about them being perfect, just work quickly before the caramel starts to set up.
