Increase heat to high and boil without stirring until mixture turns golden, bubbles thickly and candy thermometer registers 234°, swirling pan occasionally, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Drop 1 tablespoon caramel onto each pecan cluster. Melt chocolate in double boiler. Drizzle 1 tablespoon chocolate onto each candy. Chill about 30 minutes.
