Were you aiming for hard caramel?

Looks perfect for a caramel chew. I make them all the time. Actually this gives me an idea for a King Cake I was supposed to bake off today. Was going to do a brown sugar-pecan filling, might caramel some of the sugar and make a thick sauce to drizzle inside. Going to be topped with a New Orleans rum or bourbon glaze. Fuck yeea. I like these random ideas.

By the way, is your major pastry or savory?
