  • 4 Tbsp salted butter

  • 1 cup granulated sugar divided
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract or rum extract

Instructions
 

  • Add pecan halves to food processor to chop the nuts. Pulse a few times to get a variety of sizes.
  • Add chopped nuts to a saucepan with 4 tablespoons of butter and a quarter cup of sugar. Place over medium heat and stir continuously until butter and sugar form a crust around the nuts. Set aside the nuts to cool.
