CLUSTERS - Milk Chocolate Pecan Clusters - Gift Box

The gift box comes in two sizes to fit different occasions. The half pound box holds 6 individually wrapped Milk Chocolate Pecan Clusters and works perfectly as a thoughtful smaller gift or a personal treat. The one pound box holds 12 individually wrapped clusters and is the better pick for a larger family gift, a corporate gift, or a holiday hostess present. Each cluster is roughly the same size, and both boxes arrive in our decorative gift packaging, so you are picking based on quantity rather than presentation.

The candy itself is the same beloved recipe, but the format and pricing are different. Individual clusters are sold loose at our country store price and are perfect for filling a custom care package, mixing into a gift basket, or buying just a couple to taste. The gift box puts a clean count of clusters into a decorative presentation box, so it arrives ready to give. The individuals sold loose or in trays might be slightly larger than the pieces in the gift box, while the gift box delivers a more polished gift experience with a built-in count and presentation.

Each cluster is a generous handful of our fresh orchard pecans bound together with rich, creamy milk chocolate. There is no caramel layer in the middle, which means the pecan and the chocolate are the only two notes and they get to play off each other directly. A Caramillican, by contrast, builds in a thick layer of buttery handmade caramel between the pecans and the chocolate, making it more like a classic store-bought turtle take-off. If you want a less sticky, more pecan-forward candy, the cluster is your pick. If you want the full chocolate, caramel, and pecan experience, reach for a Caramillican.

Each cluster is individually wrapped to seal in freshness, which means the box can sit out at room temperature for several weeks without the candies losing their flavor or texture. Store the gift box in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight or heat sources. If your kitchen runs warm during the summer months, the refrigerator or even the freezer keeps them in great shape for longer. Keep in mind that the chocolate will melt when exposed to temperatures above 80°F. Let chilled pieces sit out for a few minutes before unwrapping so the chocolate softens back to its proper creamy bite.

Our milk chocolate pecan clusters are gluten free, which makes them a welcome treat for friends and family avoiding wheat. They obviously contain milk and pecans, both of which come right out in the name, so they are not appropriate for someone with a dairy allergy or pecan tree nut allergy. We make all our candies in our pecan-only facility here in San Saba, which means no peanuts or other tree nuts share the production space. If you have a serious allergen concern or are managing a strict cross-contact need, give our country store a call and we will walk you through how a particular batch is made.
