Spread the pecans on the baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 7 to 10 minutes, until toasted. Arrange the pecans in clusters of 3 or 4, making 20 to 24 clusters. Drizzle a few teaspoons of caramel over each pecan cluster, making sure some of the caramel touches each pecan. Place the cookie sheet in the freezer to harden the caramel. In a small bowl in a double boiler, combine the chocolate and the tablespoon of butter. Stir until chocolate is melted, then drizzle over cooled clusters. let harden and enjoy! 😋
