Chocolate Pecan Turtle Clusters

Drizzle about 1/2 tablespoon of caramel over each cluster, set aside.

Fill a pot about 1/4 of the way with water, and fit with a bowl that wont touch the bottom of the pot to create a double boiler.

Heat the pot over medium heat.

After letting it heat up for a few minutes, start to stir the chocolate chips until they are fully melted and smooth.

Stir in the shortening and spoon about 1/2 tablespoon on the top of each cluster.

Once the chocolate has cooled serve immediately or store in an airtight container with parchment paper between each layer of clusters.
