Yield 50

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups pecan halves
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
7 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1/2 can)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
12 ounces milk chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon shortening

Steps:

  • Toast pecans at 300 degrees on a cookie sheet for 5 to 6 minutes until fragrant. Let cool.
  • Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper and spray lightly with non stick cooking spray.
  • Arrange the pecans on the sheet in small groups of 3.
  • To make the caramel, melt butter in a medium sized sauce pan.
  • Add brown sugar, corn syrup, 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk.
  • Cook and stir over medium high heat until it reaches 235 degrees on your candy thermometer or the soft ball stage. (Clings together well when you drop 1/2 teaspoon of caramel in cold water).
  • Then remove the caramel from heat and stir in vanilla. Carefully spoon caramel over each nut cluster covering all the nuts.
  • For the chocolate topping melt the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl or big glass measuring cup. Heat for 30 seconds at a time stirring after each interval until all melted and smooth.
  • Then add in 1/2 teaspoon shortening to the melted chocolate chips. Stir all together until its blended in.
  • Spoon the melted chocolate over the caramel and spread around with the back of a spoon.
  • Once they set up you can eat them or store them in an airtight container.
  • Great for gift giving and holiday parties.
