Set aside.In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat.Stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and sweetened condensed milk. Cook and stir continuously until it reaches 235-240F on a candy thermometer.Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anyone that knows me knows I LOVE and make The Best Chocolate Pecan Turtle Clusters.
