Ingredients:
1 cup brown sugar |
1 cup white sugar |
1 cup dark corn syrup |
1 cup butter |
2 cups evaporated milk, separated |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
3 cups pecan halves |
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted |
Directions:
1. Combine the sugars, syrup, butter and 1 cup of the evaporated milk, and bring to a boil. Add the other cup of evaporated milk slowly, stirring constantly, and cook until it reaches 255 degrees on a candy thermometer. Add the vanilla and pecans and mix well. Pour into a 9 by 11-inch greased pan and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature, cut into squares then dip in chocolate. If you'd like to make a turtle, spoon dollops of the caramel pecan mixture onto a greased sheet pan, with 5 pecans in each mound (4 legs and head). Refrigerate to set, then dip in chocolate.
