Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
½ cup evaporated milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 ¼ cups pecan halves
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Generously grease a large slab or baking sheet.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, white sugar, and milk. Bring to a boil. Stir in butter, pecans, and vanilla. Heat, without stirring, to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when it's removed from the water and placed on a flat surface. Remove saucepan from heat and let syrup cool 5 minutes.
Beat until thickened, then pour immediately onto prepared surface and let rest until firm. Completely cool before cutting.
