01
Step 1
Start by greasing two baking sheets so the candy doesn’t stick. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the margarine, then stir in the brown sugar and salt until everything is well combined. Add the corn syrup and sweetened condensed milk, and let the mixture cook, stirring occasionally, until it reaches about 250°F (120°C)—this usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes. Once it’s done, take it off the heat and fold in the pecans, then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 2
Using a spoon, drop small mounds of the caramel onto the prepared baking sheets and let them cool until they’re firm. While the caramels are setting, melt the chocolate chips in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring gently until smooth and creamy—this should take about 5 minutes. Once the caramels are cool, dip each one into the melted chocolate, place them back on the baking sheets, and let the chocolate set completely before enjoying.
Why you’ll love it
These candy bars combine rich chocolate, creamy caramel, and crunchy pecans all in one bite. The mix of textures and flavors makes them a perfect treat for anyone with a sweet tooth. They are both indulgent and satisfying.
How to serve
Serve these bars slightly chilled or at room temperature. They pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk. Try them as a dessert after dinner or as a special snack during the holidays.
Storage & leftovers
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. Make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
