CHOCOLATE PECAN CARAMELS
I haven't missed a year making this candy for the holidays since a friend gave me the recipe in 1964! It is made like a pan of upside-down bars and tastes like my favorite caramel pecan candies. We are natives of the Lone Star State who moved to Ohio when my husband was transferred several years ago. -June Humphrey, Strongsville, Ohio

EASY CINNAMON PECAN PRALINE RECIPE
Steps:
- Set a large 6-8 quart saucepot over medium heat. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pot, making sure the tip reaches the bottom. Measure both sugars, cream, butter, and cinnamon into the pot.
- Meanwhile, set out two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Once the mixture starts to boil, stir. Continue to cook and stir until it reaches 235°F. Turn off the heat but leave the pot on the burner to keep warm. Quickly stir in the pecans, salt, and vanilla.
- Once the pecans are fully coated, use a large tablespoon or cookie scoop to QUICKLY spoon clumps of candy mixture onto the baking sheets. WORK FAST. The praline mixture starts to dry and harden quickly and does not reheat with the original texture. It's common to have one "pretty" pan of pralines and one ugly pan (that tastes just as good) if you don't work fast. This is a time when two sets of hands is very helpful! *But be careful - hot molten sugar can be dangerous.
- Allow the praline pecans to dry, then move to an airtight container until ready to serve.

- In a medium-size heavy pot, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, evaporated milk, butter, and cocoa powder. Cook and stir with a wooden spoon over medium heat until the sugars dissolve and the mixture comes to a boil.
- Continue to cook until the temperature reaches between 235-240 degrees F on a candy thermometer (soft ball stage). Remove from heat and allow the praline mixture to cool for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the pecans and vanilla, beating by hand with a wooden spoon just until the candy begins to lose its glossiness and thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. If you beat too long, the candy will seize and start to crumble. If you don't beat it long enough, then pralines won't set properly and will stay soft and sticky.
30 EASY PECAN RECIPES THAT GO BEYOND DESSERT - INSANELY GOOD
From insanelygoodrecipes.com
5/5 (1)Published 2021-03-10Category Recipe Roundup
- Candied Pecans. These are seriously addictive. Their sweet and buttery flavor is enhanced by the crunchy caramel coating and a sprinkling of flaky sea salt.
- Turtle Cookies. Turtle cookies are the culmination of everything I love in a dessert. They’re soft and chewy, rich and chocolatey, and loaded with caramel pieces, pecans, and chocolate chips.
- Easy Pecan Pie Recipe. Come Thanksgiving, there better be an extra pecan pie on the table just for me. I will fight you for the last slice. Between the gooey syrup filling and the tender, crunchy pecans, there is just nothing better.
- Pecan Crusted Salmon with Lemon Glaze. Sure, you can use boring old breadcrumbs to coat your salmon. But I can’t say enough good things about this pecan crust!
- Pecan Squares. The first time I made these, I burned my mouth as I impatiently bit into the still-hot slice. The second time, I devoured two slices before I could finish my coffee.
- Apple Cranberry Pecan Salad. I think I’ve mentioned before that when I make a salad; I need lots of toppings! Texture is so important, and without fun extras, salads can be super bland.
- Butter Pecan Chicken. Chicken is such a versatile meat. You can boil it, fry it, roast it, bake it, and it works well with everything from squash to strawberries.
- Pecan Tassies. It’s sad to say, but I didn’t grow up eating pecan tassies. In fact, I’d never tried one until I was a fully-fledged adult. The horror!
- French Quarter Pecan Cheese Spread. You’ve just found the dip for your next party. Cream cheese with garlic and onion smothered in a salty-sweet-spiced pecan topping – need I say more?
- Small Batch Butter Pecan Ice Cream. Not only does this recipe make just the right amount and tastes amazing, but you won’t even need an ice cream machine!

- Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

- On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking liner, make little piles of chopped pecans (about 1 tablespoon each).
