Caramel Pecans

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!

• Ready In: 53 mins
• Serves: 4-6
• Yields: 3 cups

Ingredients

• 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

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 250°F.
2. Pour pecan halves into greased 9x13" pan and place into oven for 5 minutes.
3. Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat.
4. Stir in brown sugar and corn syrup and cook until sugar is dissolved (this takes at least 3-4 minutes).
5. Remove pecans from oven and pour into saucepan/caramel mixture.
6. Stir to coat and pour back into 9x13" pan.
7. Place back into oven for 45-60 minutes stirring every 15 minutes or so.
8. 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).
9. Separate pecans as they cool (2 forks work well).
10. I often HALF this because I can't keep out of them!
