Salted Caramel Croissants

Salted Caramel Croissants


4 XL croissants - break into large chunks in a baking dish
1 - 2 c. pecan halves - distribute over croissant chunks

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk and bring to a boil:
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. heavy cream 

Pour caramel sauce over bread and pecans.
  
Sprinkle with coarse Sea Salt.  

Bake.  I baked it for about 45 minutes at 250 degrees.  It was perfect…light, crisp pieces on top and gooey, caramel-soaked pieces toward the bottom.  

For added decadence, spoon caramelized bread into a bowl and drizzle (or pour!) heavy cream over the top.   



Or…add a touch of bourbon to the caramel sauce for an after dinner treat.
