FAQ:

Can I make these clusters ahead of time?
Yes! These praline pecan clusters can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container. They actually taste better after the caramel has had time to set and solidify.

Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted butter?
Yes, but keep in mind that it will increase the saltiness of the clusters. If you use salted butter, you may want to reduce the amount of added sea salt.

Do I need to toast the pecans?
Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor and gives them a lovely crunch. However, if you’re short on time, you can skip this step, but toasting them is highly recommended for the best flavor.
