CHOCOLATE PECAN CARAMEL CLUSTERS
Steps:
- For the caramel: Mix 2 cups sugar, 1/4 cup light corn syrup and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring just until the sugar dissolves. Cook, swirling the pan (do not stir), until the mixture is light amber and a candy thermometer registers 320 degrees, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; slowly whisk in 1/2 cup heavy cream, then 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Return to low heat and whisk until smooth.
- Stir 1 1/3 cups chopped nuts into the warm caramel; cool until the mixture is thick enough to hold its shape. Drop spoonfuls onto an oiled parchment-lined baking sheet; let set. Top with melted chocolate and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Steps:
- Add 2 inches of water to a medium saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Place the cacao in a medium heatproof bowl and set it over the saucepan (do not let the bowl touch the water). Stir occasionally until the cacao is melted and smooth. Remove the bowl from the saucepan. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, on a silicone baking mat or parchment, create little mounds of pecans (3 or 4 per candy is perfect). Top each mound with a tablespoon or so of the vegan caramel. Pour the melted cacao over each mound, letting the pecans stick out a bit. Let the candies set at room temperature until the chocolate is fully hardened, at least 30 minutes. Serve or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
- Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange pecans in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; toast in oven until fragrant, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven (leave oven on); set aside 36 pecans on baking sheet. Finely chop remaining pecans (for about 1/4 cup); set aside.

- Place 1 piece of chocolate on top of each cluster. Return to oven; bake until chocolate begins to melt, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from oven. With the back of a spoon, gently spread chocolate over caramel without completely covering it.
