How to Make Wonderful Pecan Logs
- Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with 2-3 teaspoons of butter. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar and 1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup light corn syrup.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
- Gradually whisk in the powdered sugar mixture, about 1/3 at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Continue stirring until the mixture mounds slightly when a spoonful is dropped onto a plate (it should hold its shape).
- Immediately pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Let cool completely at room temperature.
- Once cool, cut the candy into 4 equal strips.
- Cut each strip in half to create 8 rectangles.
- Roll each rectangle into a log shape.
- Wrap each log individually in wax paper and twist the ends.
- Refrigerate or freeze until firm (at least 30 minutes).
- In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, melt the unwrapped caramels with 1/4 cup milk, stirring frequently until smooth.
- Roll each cooled log in the melted caramel mixture, then immediately roll in pecan halves to coat.
- Wrap the caramel-covered logs in wax paper.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
- Cut into slices just before serving.
