Caramel Pecan Lovelies
This recipe needs your microwave oven, regular oven and stovetop, but it’s
worth the effort—Enjoy!
1¼ cup flour
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
¾ tsp. salt, divided
¼ cup corn syrup
12 Tbsp. butter, divided
½ cup pecans, chopped
7 oz. sweetened condensed milk
6 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
1. Preheat your regular oven to 350° F.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, sugar and ½ tsp. salt.
3. Melt 8 Tbsp. butter in a microwave-safe dish (cover with a paper towel or
other lid) by heating on HIGH in 30-second increments.
4. Stir the melted butter into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly and
well blended.
5. Press the mixture into the bottom of a buttered 8" round cake pan to form
a short bread crust. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until edges begin
to brown. Let cool completely.
6. In a medium saucepan, on a stovetop over medium-high heat, stir
together 4 Tbsp. butter, sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, cream,
corn syrup and ¼ tsp. salt. Stir constantly for 15–20 minutes, until a candy
thermometer reads 235° F.
7. Remove from heat and stir in pecans. Pour mixture over the crust and
cool for 1–2 hours.
8. Melt the chocolate in the microwave oven on HIGH in 10-second
increments, stirring often until melted. Spread over the top of the caramel
and sprinkle on a few more pecans. Refrigerate for 20 minutes or until
chocolate is set.
