Chocolate Drizzled Brown Butter Pralines

1. Line a large tray with nonstick parchment paper.
2. Brown the butter over medium heat until it is light amber in color and brown solids have separated to the bottom; remove from heat so it does not burn. Set aside.
3. In a pan or kettle combine sugars, corn syrup, water and pecans. Cook over medium heat to 242⁰F, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in browned butter and vanilla. Let stand for 2-3 minutes.
4. Vigorously stir the mixture until it loses its gloss and begins to thicken; approximately 5-10 minutes. The sugar will begin to crystallize during stirring and cooling. Once this occurs and the mixture takes on a dull appearance and starts to thicken, immediately portion onto the parchment lined tray with a #40 scoop. Work quickly before the mixture completely crystallizes.
5. Allow to cool at room temperature before packaging.
6. Drizzle melted Peter’s Broken Orinoco Chocolate Liquor diagonally over the top.
