I've made these morsels almost every Christmas for the past 35 years. Everyone enjoys the chewy treats. Ingredients:
1-1/2 teaspoons plus 1 cup butter, divided |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1 cup dark corn syrup |
2 cups heavy whipping cream |
3-3/4 cups chopped pecans (about 1 pound) |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
dark or milk chocolate candy coating, melted |
Directions:
1. Butter a 13-in. x 9-in. pan with 1-1/2 teaspoons butter; set aside. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugars, corn syrup, butter and cream.
2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Cook over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 248° (firm-ball stage). Remove from the heat; stir in pecans and vanilla. Quickly spread into prepared pan. Cool.
3. Cut into 1-in. squares. Place squares on waxed paper-lined baking sheets; chill thoroughly. Dip each candy into melted candy coating. Refrigerate until firm. Yield: about 9 dozen.
