Unwrap the caramels if wrapped and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. If they are very stiff, add a spoonful of water so the final product will be softer.
Microwave them until melted, stirring after every 30 seconds.
Allow the caramel to cool slightly, so it’s not piping-hot, then use a spoon or a small candy scoop to drop a spoonful of caramel each pecan cluster.
They are meant to be a rustic candy, so don’t worry about keeping the turtles round or about having some of the pecans poking through.
Melt chocolate chips in the microwave or over a double boiler.
Spoon the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, letting some drip down the sides, and nudging it around so it covers the top of the caramel completely.
