Instructies
Preheat the oven to 150°C and cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil, shiny side up.
Lightly grease the foil with vegetable oil.
Arrange 3 pecan halves in a Y shape on the foil to create the base of each candy.
Place one caramel candy in the center of each pecan Y.
Bake in the preheated oven just until the caramel is melted, about 5 minutes.
In a small saucepan, heat the shortening and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Spread the melted chocolate over each candy, covering the caramel and pecans.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
