Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup roughly chopped toasted pecans
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 3 Tbsp bourbon
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast for 6-8 minutes. Set aside.
  • Bring brown sugar, heavy cream, butter, corn syrup, salt and cinnamon to a boil in a large heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  • Once boiling immediately lower the heat and let bubble for 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, and add the baking soda. The mixture will foam up. Stir until incorporated.
  • Add bourbon, vanilla and toasted pecans. Mix well.
  • Cool slightly (about 10 minutes). Serve warm.
