CHRISTMAS LOGS (PECAN ROLL) image

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 c soft margarine
1/3 c light corn syrup
1/2 t salt
1 t vanilla
2 T evaporated milk
1 lb. powdered sugar
1 lb. Kraft caramels
2 c finely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • For fondant center, blend margarine, corn syrup, and vanilla in large mixing bowl. Add sifted powdered sugar all at once. Mix together first with a fork, then knead with hands. Turn onto board and continue kneading until well blended and smooth. Divide into three parts and make logs. Wrap in waxed paper and roll up in a damp towel. Store in the refrigerator overnight to ripen. The next day, melt caramels in milk in a double broiler. Coat fondant logs by spooning caramel over the top and roll in pecans, then coat the bottoms with caramel and roll in pecans again. Chill to set the caramel. Wrap in aluminum foil and keep refrigerated. This keeps quite well-slice when ready to serve.
