This candy is served at my holiday party each year. I don't think half my friends would come if it wasn't available.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 c pecans-chopped
1 c sugar
1 c butter
1 Tbsp light corn syrup
1/4 c water
1 c semi-sweet chocolate morsels

Steps:

  • 1. Toast pecans at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Do not burn. Place 1 cup of pecans on lightly greased cookie sheet. (save other 1/2 cup for later)
