*Ingredients:
° 3 cups whole pecans
° Half a cup of butter
° 1 cup brown sugar
° 1/2 cup corn syrup
°Light salt
° 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk (half a 14-ounce can)
° Half a teaspoon of vanilla
° 1/2 cup chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate chips)
° ½ teaspoon vegetable oil or fat
*directions
Placing pecans in a single layer on tray baking. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until light brown and fragrant. to calm down. Arrange in groups of 3-4 on silicone liners or parchment paper.
Combine butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt in a 6-quart saucepan. Bring mix to boil on medium heat. Adding condensed milk & vanilla.
* Continue cooking and stirring until the temperature of the mixture reaches 235-240 degrees. I like to use the ice water test, it is more accurate. Put 1 teaspoon of hot caramel in a bowl of ice water. When you take it out, you should be able to turn it into a ball. Then it is done.
*Quickly pour the caramel over the pecan clusters, making sure that the caramel touches both pecans. Let sit to stiffen.
*
Melt chocolate chips and oil in microwave on half power, stirring constantly, until smooth. Pour chocolate over each layer of caramel. Leave it on for 1-2 hours or until it hardens.
Enjoy !
