For a deeper caramel flavor, consider using salted butter. Toasting the pecans enhances their nutty flavor and adds a delightful crunch. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor and melting consistency. If you don't have a microwave, you can melt the caramels and chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water. For a variation, try adding a tablespoon of bourbon or vanilla extract to the melted caramel.
