Yield 8 servings (5 cups fondue, 24 cookies)

Steps:
- For the shortbread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
- In a food processor, pulse together the pecans and sugar just until sandy--do not overpulse, as you don't want a paste. Add the flour and salt; pulse until combined. Cut butter into small cubes and add to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water and pulse quickly, until a rough dough forms.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and press into a cohesive dough. Roll to a 1/4-inch thickness. Using a knife or a rectangular cookie cutter, cut into 1-by-3-inch rectangles, about 24 total; re-roll scraps if necessary.
- Sprinkle the tops of the cookies lightly with sea salt. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Bake until golden brown at the edges, 14 to 17 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool to room temperature.
- For the fondue: Combine the sugar, water and honey in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook until the mixture is a deep-amber caramel color, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Carefully pour in the cream--stand back as the mixture will bubble and splatter. Once the bubbling subsides, turn off the heat and whisk the caramel until smooth.
- Whisk in the whiskey, butter, salt and vanilla.
- Pour the sauce into the fondue pots and keep warm.
- Serve the fondue with the cookies.
Tips and Conclusion
Indulge in delectable no-bake salted butterscotch pecan treats with these expert tips:
- For a creamy, luxurious butterscotch filling, ensure the butter and brown sugar are thoroughly combined and heated until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (235°F/113°C).
- To achieve a perfect oat mixture, use old-fashioned oats for a satisfying texture. Pulse them in a food processor until they resemble coarse flour. Avoid over-processing to maintain some texture.
- For a delightful chewy texture, toast the pecans in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow them to cool before chopping.
- When dipping the oat balls into the melted chocolate, use a fork to gently coat them, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off before placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
- For a visually appealing presentation, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the chocolate-dipped balls while the chocolate is still wet. This adds a delightful salty contrast to the sweet butterscotch filling.
In conclusion, these no-bake salted butterscotch pecan treats are a symphony of flavors and textures that will tantalize your taste buds. With a creamy butterscotch filling, a chewy oat exterior, and a salty-sweet chocolate coating, these bite-sized delights are perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings. Enjoy them as a delectable snack, a delightful dessert, or even as a thoughtful gift for friends and family. Indulge in the irresistible combination of sweet and salty with every bite.
