How to Make Noel Pecan Logs

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 10 ounces marshmallow cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  2. Shape the mixture into 1-inch diameter logs, approximately 4 inches long. Place logs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
  3. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1/2 cup margarine and 1 (14 ounce) can of caramel candies, stirring frequently until smooth.
  4. Remove logs from freezer. Dip each log into the melted caramel mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Immediately roll in 1 cup chopped pecans until completely covered.
  5. Place the coated logs back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and allow the caramel to set slightly.
  6. Wrap individual logs in plastic wrap. These can be made ahead and frozen for up to 2 months. To serve, let them thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  7. For a beautiful gift, use festive colored cellophane or plastic wrap and tie the ends with ribbon. Add a personalized tag for an extra special touch!
