Pecan Delights image

Everyone loves chocolate-covered turtles. This recipe is even tastier than the store-bought candies and well worth the time in the kitchen. A staple nut of the south, Pecans are grown here close to me at the Little Eva Plantation. At the holidays I always make up some goodies for friends, employees, and such and this is one...

Categories     Nuts

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/4 c packed brown sugar
1 c butter or margarine
1 c light corn syrup
1/8 tsp salt
1 can(s) (14-ozs) sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 lb whole pecans
1 c semisweet chocolate chips
1 c milk chocolate chips
2 Tbsp shortening

Steps:

  • 1. In a large saucepan, combine the first four ingredients. Cook over medium heat until all sugar is dissolved. Gradually add milk and mix well. Continue cooking until a candy thermometer reads 248 degrees (firm-ball stage).
  • 2. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla until blended. Fold in the pecans. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a greased or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Chill until firm. Loosen from paper.
  • 3. Melt chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler. Drizzle over each cluster. Cool.

I've tried many pecan delight recipes, but this one is by far the best. The filling is so smooth and creamy.

These pecan delights were a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pecan delights didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The crust was a little dry and the filling was a little too runny.

These pecan delights were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.
