Categories: Candy, Dairy, Nuts, Chocolate
Yield: 48 Servings
1 lb Pecan halves; toasted
14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
3/4 c Light corn syrup
1/2 c Sugar
1/3 c Brown sugar; packed
1/4 c Butter; in cubes
1 1/2 ts Vanilla extract
1 lb Milk chocolate candy
- coating; chopped
Flaked sea salt (optional)
On waxed paper-lined baking sheets, arrange pecans in small
clusters of 4 to 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 238°F/114°C (soft-ball stage). Remove from the heat. Stir in
butter and vanilla. Working quickly, spoon caramel onto pecan
clusters. Let stand until set.
In a microwave, melt candy coating; stir until smooth. Spoon over
caramel. If desired, top with flake sea salt. Chill for 10 minutes
or until set. Store in an airtight container.
