PECAN CARAMELS



Pecan Caramels image

I altered the original recipe for these creamy caramels by substituting condensed milk for part of the whipping cream and cutting back on the sugar. Everybody raves about them, and they make a great holiday gift. You can't eat just one! -Patsy Howell, Peru, Indiana

CARAMEL PECANS



Caramel Pecans image

My favorite part of the caramel roll is the pecans on top so I created this recipe by combining a couple of different recipes to curb my craving. I'm not a huge fan of sweet rolls so this gives me what I want without wasting the rolls. I will often half this because it gives me plenty since they are addicting!

Provided by MinnMomof2

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 53m

Yield 3 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cups pecan halves
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons corn syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F.
  • Pour pecan halves into greased 9x13" pan and place into oven for 5 minutes.
  • Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat.
  • Stir in brown sugar and corn syrup and cook until sugar is dissolved (this takes at least 3-4 minutes).
  • Remove pecans from oven and pour into saucepan/caramel mixture.
  • Stir to coat and pour back into 9x13" pan.
  • Place back into oven for 45-60 minutes stirring every 15 minutes or so.
  • Remove pan and spread pecans onto parchment paper or silpat (I've used wax paper but it sticks at times-if it does put in fridge and remove when cold).
  • Separate pecans as they cool (2 forks work well).
  • I often HALF this because I can't keep out of them!

  • Place pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for about 10 minutes or till lightly browned and fragrant. Let cool. Arrange in clusters of 3-4 on silicone liners or parchment paper.
  • Combine butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt in a 6 quart pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla.
  • Continue cooking and stirring till mixture reaches 235-240 degrees. I like to use the ice water test, it's more accurate. Drop a small spoonful of the hot caramel into a bowl of ice water. When you take it out, you should be able to roll it into a ball. Then it's done.
  • Quickly spoon the caramel over the pecan clusters, making sure caramel is touching each of the pecans. Let sit to harden.
