Ingredients
1/2
cup
brown sugar
1/4
cup
corn syrup
1/4
cup
unsalted butter
1/4
tsp
baking soda
1/4
tsp
salt
1
cup
pecans
, chopped
1
wheel
brie cheese
Instructions
Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a small saucepan over medium high heat.
Stir constantly until the butter is completely melted and mixture begins to soft boil.
Allow to boil gently without stirring for one minute.
Working quickly, remove from heat and immediately stir in salt and baking soda.
Fold in the chopped pecans and mound the warm mixture on top of the brie.
Notes
I like the pecans more finely chopped, but be careful not to make them "powdery".
If the mixture is too hot and runs off the brie too quickly, just use a spoon to scoop it back on top until it sets.
This recipe also doubles really well.
