http://www.veganbaking.net/ 250-1195 http://www.veganbaking.net/confections/candy/250-vegan-pecan-caramel-chews I've been vegan for years and have missed caramel dearly. I'm broke and in grad school, so decided to make vegan baked treats for holiday gifts this year. I stumbled upon this recipe and am SO glad I did. I've been dancing around the house all night, so pleased at how this recipe has turned out. I made the condensed milk in a crock pot last night--it took about 12 hours to reduce down properly--SO worth the wait. I had my parents (who aren't so keen on my dietary choices) try the finished product and they loved it too. Thank you so much for this recipe! It's going to become a staple in my kitchen! ]]> Mon, 24 Dec 2012 04:20:54 -0500 250-953 http://www.veganbaking.net/confections/candy/250-vegan-pecan-caramel-chews I almost got lazy and didn't prepare a cold water bath--but thank God I did because the sugar boiled way over, onto the stovetop and nearly caught fire! Keep the cold water bath near the stove!! Thanks Mattie for including this step--it saved the day. One day I will attempt these again. On someone's else's stove. ]]> Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:43:28 -0400 250-952 http://www.veganbaking.net/confections/candy/250-vegan-pecan-caramel-chews I almost got lazy and didn't prepare a cold water bath--but thank God I did because the sugar boiled way over, onto the stovetop and nearly caught fire!

Do you have any suggestions on how to remedy this? I know their main ingredient IS sugar, but I still want to ask :) Thank you. ]]> Thu, 16 Feb 2012 14:35:10 -0500 250-741 http://www.veganbaking.net/confections/candy/250-vegan-pecan-caramel-chews Just finished making these and am really happy with how they turned out. In terms of reaching 275 I've found that a factor in how long it takes to reach that temp is the size of your pot - a shallower pot helps you get to that temp faster. We realized this after making it and tried it on our next recipe that involved caramelization and it definitely worked much better. In a 2 quart sauce pan it took much longer than 20 minutes. ]]> Mon, 12 Dec 2011 02:21:09 -0500 250-694 http://www.veganbaking.net/confections/candy/250-vegan-pecan-caramel-chews i tried these...the caramel would not turn out. i could not get it up to proper temperature and the caramel was much too light in color and soft in consistency. i ended up having it on the stove for 30 minutes and no luck. most caramel recipes would recommend about 40 minutes. any reason why you suggest 20? ]]> Fri, 11 Nov 2011 22:11:02 -0500 250-40 http://www.veganbaking.net/confections/candy/250-vegan-pecan-caramel-chews I made these last night, and they're perfect. I accidentally added the nuts and vanilla at the beginning, but they still turned out well. With more pecans added, these may work as pralines. Next time, I may try adding roasted and salted peanuts at the end, instead of pecans. ]]> Sun, 25 Oct 2009 15:55:26 -0400 250-15 http://www.veganbaking.net/confections/candy/250-vegan-pecan-caramel-chews these are awesome! so, a question on condensed soy milk. i have this friend, right? and she's getting really tired of prepping condensed soy milk every time she makes caramel. so, where would you tell my friend to get it? ]]> Thu, 09 Apr 2009 17:08:22 -0400
