This Christmas season try your hand at these. We gather the kids around and they help. They cut the waxed paper to wrap in and take as a gift to their teachers. You might want to make 2 batches.. one to keep!
Make memories!

Ingredients
- 2/3 cup pecans
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
Directions
- Toast pecans on cookie sheet in 350ºF oven for about 8 minutes or until you can smell them.
- Cool; chop fine with sharp knife. You can put in a zip lock bag, cover with a towel and let kids hit them.
- Butter the inside of an 8-inch square glass baking dish.
- Sprinkle pecans evenly over bottom of dish; set aside.
- In a heavy 3-quart saucepan, combine sugar, butter, whipping cream and syrup.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Place candy thermometer in pan.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until temperature reaches 245ºF or a tablespoon of mixture dropped into very cold water forms a firm ball when handled. (It is important to stir mixture to prevent sticking.)
- DO NOT LET KIDS HANDLE HOT PAN WITH CANDY.
- I never time it, I go by the thermometer.. times above are a guess.
- Pour caramel over pecans.
- Cool at room temperature for about 1 hour.
- Run knife around dish edges; invert over cutting surface using edge of knife to help release caramel.
- Cut into small squares with a WET, sharp knife using a sawing motion. you might have to rewet knife more than once.
- Wrap individually in plastic wrap or wax paper when cooled completely.
