How to Make Sea Salt Caramel Pecan Roll (Pecan Logs)
My dad is a nut for caramel, so for Father’s Day this year, I decided to come up with my own recipe for making the nostalgia-conjuring classic confection ~ The Pecan Log.
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), plus 3 TB for buttering the pan)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
- pinch of salt
- 2 teaspoons real vanilla extract
For the nut roll
- 12 oz. Finely Chopped Pecan Pieces
- Fine flake sea salt (my absolute favorite is actually a river salt: Murray River Salt from Australia)
- 60 (approx.) regular marshmallows
your pan by buttering the bottom and sides. I use a 12×12 pan because
it gives me the perfect height for the caramel (about 1/2″). Cut two
pieces of parchment paper. Line pan with the first piece. Butter the
parchment, then lay the second piece down in the opposite direction.
You’ll want to cut the parchment long enough to overhang the sides of
the pan. This will make it easy to lift out later. Butter bottom and
sides of the parchment.
1: Place butter in a 2-3 quart bowl. Microwave until just melted.
Add sugars, corn syrup and condensed milk. Stir with a silicone spatula
to combine.

7: Immediately pour the hot candy into the prepared pan. Gently tap
the pan on a flat surface to tap out any air bubbles. Set aside in a
cool place, elevated on a wire rack, to cool (approx. 3 hours, then chill in the refrigerator for another 1/2 hour).
Step 7: Spread out the pecans on a large oblong tray. Put a caramel roll on the pecans and gently roll and press to adhere (pic 1). If caramel becomes too soft at any point, refrigerate.
Step 8: On another tray or flat surface, sprinkle nut roll with salt, then gently roll to adhere (pic 2).
Step 9: Wrap rolls tightly in plastic and refrigerate until ready to use (step 3)
Step 10: Slice and enjoy.
