A relative visiting from Oklahoma brought these and the recipe with her. Who can resist rich chewy caramel over crunchy pecans drizzled with sweet chocolate? These candies have become a holiday favorite to both make and eat! -Linda Jonsson, Marion, Ohio Ingredients:
2-1/4 cups packed brown sugar |
1 cup butter, cubed |
1 cup light corn syrup |

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-1/2 pounds whole pecans |
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
1 cup milk chocolate chips |
2 tablespoons shortening |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine the first four ingredients. Cook over medium heat until all sugar is dissolved. Gradually add milk; mix well. Continue cooking until a candy thermometer reads 248° (firm-ball stage).
2. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla until blended. Fold in the pecans. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheets. Chill until firm. Loosen from paper.
