Love Nibbles * Valentine’s * Caramel Pecan Clusters
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Spread the pecans evenly on the prepared baking sheet and toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove from the oven and let cool.
-
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the sugars have dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
-
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the baking soda. The mixture will bubble up, so be careful.
-
Add the toasted pecans to the caramel mixture and stir until the pecans are evenly coated.
-
Drop spoonfuls of the pecan caramel mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
-
Let the clusters cool and set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
-
Once the clusters have cooled and set, remove them from the baking sheet and store in an airtight container.
