 On waxed paper-lined baking sheets, arrange pecans in
 small clusters of 4-5 pecans each.

 For caramel, in a small saucepan, combine the milk, corn
 syrup and sugars. Cook and stir over medium heat until a
 candy thermometer reads 238ºF/114ºC (soft-ball stage).

 Working quickly, spoon caramel onto pecan clusters. Let
 stand until set.

 In a microwave, melt candy coating; stir until smooth.

 Chill for 10 minutes or until set. Store in an airtight
 container.
