Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups pecans (halves or pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 1.5 teaspoons fine sea salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1.5 cups white sugar
  • 0.25 cup corn syrup
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups good chocolate (milk or dark, melted)

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Start by preheating your oven to 325ºF (160°C).
  • 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!
