Georgia Browns

If you’re looking for a new treat to add to the holiday dessert list, then allow me to introduce you to Georgia Browns. I discovered these candies at a Canadian chocolate shop and was instantly smitten. Made with roasted pecans, homemade caramel, and topped with a sinful layer of chocolate, they’re absolutely irresistible. Making them at home is easier than you’d think. Let’s get into it…

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.
