    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 (packed) brown sugar
    1/4 c Butter; in cubes
    1 1/2 ts Vanilla extract

    On waxed paper-lined baking sheets, arrange pecans in
    small clusters of 4-5 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 238ºF/114ºC (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.
