Ingredients
Scale
- 6 tbsp salted butter
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 16 oz almond bark or high-quality chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast them for 5–10 minutes until fragrant. Allow to cool and chop roughly.
- Line another baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Add light brown sugar, granulated sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and corn syrup; mix well. Microwave on HIGH for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally until reaching the soft-ball stage (235°F).
- Stir in vanilla extract and chopped pecans into the caramel mixture.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for about 20 minutes to set.
- Melt almond bark or chocolate until smooth.
- Using a fork, dip each caramel-pecan mound into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off before placing them back on parchment paper.
- Allow to set completely before storing.
