The Pathetic Pecan Fossil.

So I was aiming to make the uber-amazing Caramel Chocolate Pecan Cubes (or something similar enough), and something went awry.

Something irreparable.

Something I still can’t explain.

All I know is this: I melted the caramel. I pressed the pecans into the caramel, while simultaneously fantasizing about how cute the finished product would look cut up into chunks with the pecans on top AND/OR what else I could do to ramp the wow-factor up on the dessert (like maybe melt peanut butter overtop and then drizzle with chocolate, or something else that would be sinful and amazing), something screwed up.

The pecans started popping off.

I don’t know why, and I am still flummoxed as to why. Why? Why? Whyyyyy?

I think it’s my punishment for using store-bought caramel. If I made the caramel myself I’m certain the pecans would have said “let’s stick to this caramel, because it’s the good shit, and Jodi worked so hard on this”. As it stands, I have no answers. Just questions.

Whyyyyyy?
