Directions:
Combine butter, corn syrup, and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and mixture just begins to boil about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in powdered sugar, powdered milk, vanilla, and salt. Continue stirring until mixture begins to clump, about 2 minutes. Spread mixture in a parchment paper-lined 9-inch square baking pan. Let stand until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Cut candy into 4 equal strips; cut crosswise in middle, creating 8 pieces. Shape each piece into a 4 1/2- to 5-inch-long log, and wrap in parchment paper or wax paper. Freeze for about 1 hour. Melt caramel and cream on top of a double boiler over medium. Place chopped pecans on a baking sheet. Unwrap candy logs. Carefully dip each log into hot caramel Roll in chopped pecans until evenly coated. Wrap in parchment paper or wax paper, and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Cut each log into 4 pieces to serve. www.southernliving.com. NOTE: Bob and Julia loved making Pecan Logs with their fresh pecans each year. This recipe is from Southern Living. It makes the best pecan logs.
