No-Bake Cornflake-Chocolate Pralines
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 2 cups cornflakes
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup pure cane syrup (such as Steen's) or 2 tablespoons each molasses and light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- Pinch of salt
- 1 ounce semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 ounce white chocolate, chopped
- Toast the pecans in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a cutting board; let cool, then coarsely chop.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Toss the pecans and cornflakes in a large bowl.
- Make the caramel: Bring the butter, cane syrup, heavy cream and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan and comes together into a loose ball, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat.
- Once the caramel stops bubbling, stir in the semisweet chocolate until melted.
- Pour the chocolate caramel over the cornflake mixture and toss to coat.
- Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets and pack into compact mounds with your fingers.
- Let set, about 1 hour.
- Put the white chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted.
- Drizzle over the cookies and let set, about 1 more hour.
