Meghan's Pecan Brie Goodness

Meghan brought a dessertlicious (haha) appetizer to Thanksgiving last week. She found it on this site.


Ingredients:
1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 Cup pecan halves, roughly chopped
One 3-inch round, Brie cheese

Preparation:Combine brown sugar, corn syrup and butter in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan set over medium heat. Stir mixture until it comes to a boil. Boil gently, without stirring, for 1 minute.

Remove from heat and, shielding hands with oven mitts, quickly whisk in baking soda. Stir in salt and pecans until mixture begins to set, about 30 seconds.
Working quickly, mound warm nut mixture on top of Brie and let caramel cascade down sides of cheese.

Yum, these we so fabulous! Another one I'd love to see is the recipe Mary used to make her candied walnuts with bleu cheese and chives appetizer? Kathleen and I couldn't get enough of those!
