PALEO PECAN CANDY CLUSTERS
Bet you didn't think you could have a vegan chocolate treat that's free of refined sugars--but here we are with one based on chocolate turtles. Sweet and rich with vegan caramel, a bit of sharp depth from dark chocolate, and crunch from pecans, these little paleo candy clusters immediately put a smile on your face. Pecans are the classic, but feel free to try these with any of your favorite nuts.

Steps:
- Add 2 inches of water to a medium saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Place the cacao in a medium heatproof bowl and set it over the saucepan (do not let the bowl touch the water). Stir occasionally until the cacao is melted and smooth. Remove the bowl from the saucepan. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, on a silicone baking mat or parchment, create little mounds of pecans (3 or 4 per candy is perfect). Top each mound with a tablespoon or so of the vegan caramel. Pour the melted cacao over each mound, letting the pecans stick out a bit. Let the candies set at room temperature until the chocolate is fully hardened, at least 30 minutes. Serve or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
- Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

Steps:
- Bring 1 1/2 cups sugar, the milk, and salt to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat (mixture may look separated).
- Bring water and remaining 3/4 cup sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Wash sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming. Cook, undisturbed, until sugar begins to turn light gold, about 5 minutes. Swirl pan, then cook until caramel turns amber, about 2 minutes. Immediately remove pan from heat. Carefully stir in milk mixture (liquid may bubble up), then pecans. Place pan over medium heat, and cook, stirring often, until caramel registers 242 degrees on a candy thermometer, about 7 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat, and stir in butter, vanilla, and rum. Continue stirring until caramel cools and becomes very thick and difficult to stir, about 10 minutes. Drop small mounds of caramel onto a baking sheet lined with a nonstick baking mat, and let cool.
- Place melted chocolate in a medium bowl. Using an offset spatula, dip bottom of each pecan cluster into chocolate, leaving top partially undipped. Place dipped pecan clusters on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and let stand until chocolate is set.
