Microwave Caramels

Microwave Caramels (from here)

So, I can't deny that I was pretty impressed with myself when I made this. I put the caramel over pecans and then topped it with some chocolate. Sooo yummy!

The trick is to melt the butter until it's all soft first, use dark brown sugar, and I decided to microwave it for an additional 1:30 based on some reviews I read. I also had a sprinkling of kosher salt, and it's SO GOOD. I'll definitely be making this again (and again, and again, and again)
