Easy Pecan Logs

-Kale Cloward

No-cook Fondant:
1/3 C Karo syrup
½ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla

Blend butter, syrup, salt and vanilla in mixing bowl. Add powdered sugar all at once. Mix all together with hands until smooth. Shape into log centers about 1 inch in diameter and 4-6 inches long. Freeze overnight on waxed paper.

Caramel:
Melt 2 lbs. caramels in small amount of evaporated milk or whipping cream to get to a dipping consistency.

Dip your frozen centers into the caramel using a fork or a toothpick.

Have a piece of waxed paper full of finely chopped pecans ready. When you take your centers out of the caramel, drop them onto the pecans and coat them. Then place them on a piece of waxed paper. I rolled mine up individually to keep a nice log shape and put them right into the freezer.

Store in the freezer until ready to eat. Then let them thaw slightly and slice.
