Indulgent chewy praline bites with roasted pecans, caramel, and chocolate.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups pecans, roasted and chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 teaspoons fine sea salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1.5 cups white sugar
- 0.25 cup corn syrup
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups chocolate chips, melted milk or dark
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and spread pecans on a baking sheet. Toast until fragrant, about 12 minutes.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter and toss with the roasted pecans and 1.5 teaspoons salt. Spread in an even layer on a sheet and bake 5 minutes more, then cool.
- In a saucepan, combine white sugar, corn syrup, and water. Bring to a boil and cook until the caramel reaches 250 to 275 degrees Fahrenheit (121 to 135 Celsius).
- Carefully stir in the heavy cream and 4 tablespoons butter. Simmer until smooth, then stir in 0.5 teaspoon salt and vanilla.
- Spoon the caramel over the pecans in muffin tins or on a lined sheet, forming small clusters. Let them cool slightly to set.
- Dip each caramel cluster into melted chocolate and place back on the sheet. Chill until the coating is firm.
- Store in an airtight container and enjoy when desired.
Notes
These chewy praline bites are perfect for gifting and gatherings. For an extra texture contrast, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate before it sets.
