90 pecan halves (about 1-1/2 cups), toasted
1/2 of a 14-ounce package vanilla caramels (about 25)
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate pieces

With a narrow spatula, spread a small amount of melted chocolate mixture over the top of each caramel piece. Let stand till firm. Remove from baking sheet. Store tightly covered. Makes 30 pieces.
