You’ll start out by roasting the pecans. Toss two cups of pecan halves in a generous coating of butter, sprinkle them with salt, and then pop them in the oven for about 13-15 minutes. They’ll have a lovely crunch to them and the most delicious buttery flavor.
Next, we dive into the heart of these Georgia Browns – the caramel. In a small saucepan, combine water, brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk, corn syrup, and butter. Bring the mixture to a boil and keep it simmering until it reaches a toasty 245 degrees. You’ll then remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla and a pinch of salt. The results are sinfully smooth and really take this homemade treat to the next level.
