Ingredients

1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp ground ginger 1/4 tsp allspice 1/4 tsp ground cloves

1 tsp kosher salt 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 c unsalted butter 1/4 c water

1 c sugar 8 oz dark chocolate, finely chopped 1/2 c toasted pecans, chopped flaky sea salt

Directions

Line rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper; set aside. In small bowl, combine cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves, & salt; set aside. Measure out vanilla extract; set aside. Combine butter, water & sugar in medium, heavy bottom saucepan. Set over medium-high heat & stir slowly until butter is melted & sugar dissolves. Keep a small bowl of fresh water & pastry brush handy: If any sugar sloshes up sides of pan, use wet brush to gently push back into rest of mixture. Allow butter mixture to come to gentle rolling boil. Stir occasionally/slowly as needed to prevent uneven cooking as mixture gets to 300° & darkens in color. As soon as mixture reaches 300°, remove pan from heat & stir in pumpkin spice & vanilla extract. Pour into lined sheet pan, tilting pan as needed to spread evenly. Allow to cool for 2 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped chocolate; let melt, then smooth with spatula. Top with nuts & sea salt while chocolate is still wet. Allow to cool for at least 4 hours, then break into bite-sized pieces.
