Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Place pecan halves in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 - 6 minutes, shaking the pan once halfway through, until lightly toasted.
Remove from oven; transfer to a plate to cool.
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Unwrap the caramels.
Arrange the pretzels on the baking sheet; top each pretzel with an unwrapped caramel.
Place the baking sheet in the oven for 4 - 5 minutes, or until the caramels are softened but not melting. Remove the pan from the oven.
Gently press a pecan half onto each caramel, just enough for the caramel to fill the pretzel. Set aside to cool completely.
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate. When the pretzel/caramels are cooled, transfer them from the baking sheet to a platter/plate.
Spoon small dollops of about 1 1/2 t. each of chocolate evenly distributed on the baking silicone baking mat or parchment paper lined baking pan; lightly place each pretzel onto the middle of each dollop, making sure they're centered.
Allow to cool completely before serving. They can be refrigerated to cool faster.
24 servings.
