SAMS PECANS RECIPES

Steps:

• Layer pecans, then candy coating, then chocolate bar into crockpot (I used a 5 quart). Cover. Cook for 1 hour on low temperature. Do not stir. After 1 hour stir mixture and continue to cook, stirring every 15-20 minutes for another hour (a total of 2 hours). Once mixture has completely come together, stir in caramel bits and turn off the heat. Cover for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile line counter top or table with a long piece of parchment paper.
• Stir. Use 2 table spoons to scoop out candy from crockpot and scoop it onto parchment paper. Make sure candy is not touching.
• Meanwhile, melt 2 cups chocolate chips and chop 1/2 cup pecans. Drizzle over turtles and garnish with chopped pecans.
• Allow to set completely.
• Serve and enjoy!
• You can double the recipe, but the caramels will start to get a little gritty in the candy if not scooped out quickly enough. So, be careful.
• The photos above are from a double batch that I made. Scoop fast.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, preferably one that will work on your grill, heat the butter, salt and garlic. Heat until the butter fully melts and then set to the side.
• Prepare your grill for direct cooking over medium/ high heat. Make sure to brush the grates clean. For this one, I used the charcoal grill. The flavor really comes across in the lobster. This works great over a gas grill too.
• To prepare the lobster cut the top of the shell with a pair of sheers. Cut right through the center of the shell down the middle of the lobster tail.
• Flip over and do the same on the bottom of the tail.
• Then using a sharp knife cut the lobster in half. Season the lobster with a little salt and then brush it with the garlic butter.
• Place the lobster directly over the heat with the meat side down. Grill for 2-3 minutes until the meat turns opaque.
• Flip the lobster and brush with the garlic butter. Continue to grill until the lobster meats is slightly firm, roughly 3 minutes.
• Remove the lobster and serve.
