Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Pecans, chopped
- 1/2 cup Dried Cranberries

Instructions
- Roughly chop the pecans and measure out the cranberries and oats.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, unsalted butter, and heavy cream.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
- Continue to stir and let the mixture bubble for about 2–3 minutes until it thickens slightly and takes on a light caramel color.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Add the chopped pecans and dried cranberries, stirring well to combine.
- Fold in the rolled oats, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
