Caramel Nut Cluster

Mmmmm. Who doesn't like these?! I suppose you could use any sort of nut in these, however, I just love the toasted pecans. They have such a lovely crunch. I like to make these on the smaller side, with one or two nuts in each. That way you just get a taste, and you can sample other treats that may be around also!
