Instructions
- Line counter top or baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper.
- In a heavy dutch oven over medium heat, combine brown sugar, heavy cream, corn syrup and butter. Over medium heat, stirring constantly, bring to a boil. Boil for about 6 minutes or until candy thermometer reaches 235 degrees (soft ball stage).
- Remove mixture from heat and allow to cool to 150 degrees. Stir in pecans and quickly, using two spoons, drop by spoonful onto parchment paper. Allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes. ENJOY
Notes
- Toast the pecans prior to use for best flavor!
- As any southerner would tell you, don’t make these on a humid day. For whatever reason, they just don’t turn out.
- When boiling the candy mixture, don’t use a thin-walled pot, as it tends to overheat and cause the candy to cook to quickly.
- Work fast when spooning the candy onto parchment paper. Just be careful as the mixture is very hot!
