I tried this after I realized it would only take a few minutes and I had the caramels on hand. I had a few pecan halves and some chopped pecans. My husband and I thought the pecan halves were very pretty, but we liked the test best with the chopped pecans. I scooped out a tablespoon and place the caramel on top. When it came out of the oven, I flipped them over and coated both sides with the chopped pecans. Either way, a wonderful treat!
