Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecans
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the pecans on a baking sheet in a single layer and toast them in the oven for 6–8 minutes, until fragrant. Remove from the oven, let them cool slightly, and chop them coarsely.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, heavy cream, and salt. Place over medium heat and stir until the mixture is melted and smooth.
Step 3
Continue cooking the mixture, stirring constantly, until it comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped pecans and vanilla extract. Mix until the pecans are evenly coated in the caramel mixture.
Step 5
Using a spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure to leave some space between each patty to allow for spreading.
Step 6
Let the patties cool and set at room temperature for about 1–2 hours. If you're in a hurry, you can place the tray in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
Step 7
Once set, gently remove the pecan patties from the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container. They will keep for up to one week at room temperature.
