Candy making is one of those things that most of us only do once a year or so, myself included. But I always very much look forward to it! There’s something so fun about the precision of it and how a little heat can turn sugar into something completely different. It feels like a really delicious science experiment. Or maybe a magic trick. Some candies are trickier than others, but these Caramel Pecan Clusters are a great beginner’s option. A little more forgiving than some fudges and brittles, these clusters take sugar and butter and cream and turn them into something chewy and nutty and irresistible.
