Directions: |
Directions:Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper and spray with Pam. Arrange your pecans into clusters of three.
Caramel: Place 1/2 C. butter into a medium-sized sauce pan. Melt and add brown sugar, light corn syrup and sweetened condensed milk, stirring continually. Cook and stir until it reaches 234º - remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Carefully drizzle about 1 1/2 tsp. of caramel over each nut cluster. You’ll want to work quickly, as the caramel will begin to set up. Be sure there is caramel touching all of the nuts in your cluster. The caramel works like glue!
Melt chocolate chips and add shortening, stir until smooth.Spoon1 1/2 tsp. over the top of the caramel and nuts. Swirl it around along the top making a pretty swoop with your spoon. Allow the chocolate to set up. Once it has hardened and cooled transfer them to an air tight container. |
