How to Make Pecan Dandy Do’s

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and arrange crackers in a single layer.

In a small saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, butter, and brown sugar. Simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring often.

Reduce heat to low and whisk in milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth. Fold in pecans and cook for 2 additional minutes or until mixture is thick.

Remove from heat.

Use a greased cookie scoop to top each cracker with the caramel mixture.

Allow cookies to fully cool, then store in an airtight container.
