Caramel Pecans image

My favorite part of the caramel roll is the pecans on top so I created this recipe by combining a couple of different recipes to curb my craving. I'm not a huge fan of sweet rolls so this gives me what I want without wasting the rolls. I will often half this because it gives me plenty since they are addicting!

Time 53m

Yield 3 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cups pecan halves
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons corn syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F.
  • Pour pecan halves into greased 9x13" pan and place into oven for 5 minutes.
  • Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat.
  • Stir in brown sugar and corn syrup and cook until sugar is dissolved (this takes at least 3-4 minutes).
  • Remove pecans from oven and pour into saucepan/caramel mixture.
  • Stir to coat and pour back into 9x13" pan.
  • Place back into oven for 45-60 minutes stirring every 15 minutes or so.
  • Remove pan and spread pecans onto parchment paper or silpat (I've used wax paper but it sticks at times-if it does put in fridge and remove when cold).
  • Separate pecans as they cool (2 forks work well).
  • I often HALF this because I can't keep out of them!
