    Feeling extra grateful and so thankful this year and ready to celebrate with family.  There are so many ways to make this thanksgiving holiday extra special and keep it intimate around your table starting with your place setting for each guest.  Chocolate Caramel Dipped Pears are the perfect addition to your table, that look beautiful and festive, serve as a place card and can also be enjoyed for dessert.   

    Chocolate Caramel Dipped Pears are so much fun to make and even more fun to eat.  Similar to a traditional caramel apple, Chocolate Caramel Pears bring all the fall flavors using sweet and juicy green Bartlett Pears, dipped in homemade creamy and smooth caramel glaze and then coated in white chocolate for an elegant look.  Add the perfect tag to each Caramel Pear with a Grateful and Thankful Gift Tag and pair these with our favorite fall cocktail, Apple Cider Tequila Punch.

    Ingredients

    Step-by-Step Directions to Make Caramel Pears

    the process of dipping pears in caramel with the caramel sauce, pears dipped in caramel, pears dipped in white chocolate and pears on the table with pacesetting

    Prepare the Pears

    1. Wash the pears and allow them to dry completely.
    2. Place the pears on a large sheet pan, lined with parchment paper; set aside

    Prepare the Caramel Glaze

    1. In a large saucepan, combine the light brown sugar, butter, sweetened condensed milk, corn syrup, maple syrup, vanilla extract and salt
    2. On medium heat, stir the mixture continuously until the sugar dissolves
    3. Allow the sugar mixture to reach 238 degrees F on a candy thermometer
    4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the caramel into a large heat proof bowl and allow the caramel to cool to 200 degrees F
    5. Once the caramel has cooled to 200 degrees F, dip the pears to cover ¾ of the pear (allow the excess caramel to drip off)
    6. Place the pears on the prepared baking sheet and allow them to cool for 1 hour

    Prepare the White Chocolate Glaze

    1. Once the caramel has set, melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 second increments until the white chocolate is melted and smooth
    2. Dip the caramel pears in the melted white chocolate and place them back on the prepared baking sheet.
    3. Once the white chocolate has hardened you are ready to place them on your table or package them up for a gift! Enjoy!

    Tips to Make the Best Chocolate Caramel Pears

    • Choose the Right Pears: Make sure your pears are ripe but firm to hold up under the caramel and chocolate layers. Soft pears will become too mushy during dipping.
    • Dry the Pears Thoroughly: Once you wash the pears, make sure to dry them very well. Any moisture will not allow the carom to stick to the pear.
    • Add Toppings: If you want to add nuts, sprinkles, shredded coconut or dark chocolate drizzle.
    • Work Quickly: Once the caramel is made and cooled to 200 degrees F, make sure to work quickly and so that it doesn't harden before you are finished dipping the pears.
    • Store Properly: Keep the dipped pears in the refrigerator if not serving immediately, especially in warm weather.
