Indulge in homemade Sweet Georgia Browns, a perfect blend of roasted pecans, chewy caramel, and rich chocolate for a delightful treat. Every bite offers a satisfying crunch from pecans, balanced with buttery sweetness of homemade caramel, and a velvety chocolate finish. These treats promise a momentary escape into pure bliss, captivating and delighting anyone who experiences their exquisite symphony of flavors.
Take the pecans. Mix them with melted butter, then add a pinch of salt. Spread this mixture evenly on a baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes until the pecans are nicely roasted. Once done, set them aside to cool.
While the pecans are cooling, you can prepare the chewy caramel. In a saucepan, gently warm up the heavy cream and unsalted butter until they blend together smoothly.
In another pan, combine white sugar, corn syrup, and water. Bring this mixture to a boil until it reaches a temperature between 250°F to 275°F (121°C - 135°C).
Remove the pan from heat. Carefully add the warmed cream mixture to it. Don't forget to add vanilla extract and the remaining pinch of salt as well.
Now it's time for assembly! Place your roasted pecans in either a muffin tin or, on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spoon the caramel over the pecans, making sure they are nicely covered with that goodness! Allow them some time to cool down completely.
Once cooled, you can take things up another level by dipping each Sweet Georgia Brown in melted chocolate indulgence!
Finally, let them set before serving so that all those flavors blend together harmoniously.
Now you're ready to enjoy your Sweet Georgia Browns!
