Notes
The sea salt is optional, but recommended!
Depending on the caramel, you may need a little more or a little less cream. You don't want the caramel to be too soft that it sticks to everything and doesn't set enough - but you also don't want it to be crunchy. I used Werther's Original Soft Caramel for mine, with ½ Tablespoon of cream and it worked great.
I like to use 4 pecan halves for mine, but I've seen 3 used, as well as 5. This is your preference! I just told my kids that his head was inside his shell ;-)
