Time 3h30m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups pecan halves (5 1/2 oz)

Steps:

  • In heavy 3-quart saucepan, heat brown sugar, granulated sugar, milk, corn syrup and salt to boiling, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium. Cook uncovered about 15 minutes, without stirring, to 236°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from water. Cool about 1 hour, without stirring, until saucepan is cool to the touch.
  • Add vanilla and pecan halves. Beat with spoon about 1 minute or until mixture is slightly thickened and just coats pecans but does not lose its gloss. On waxed paper, drop mixture by spoonfuls, dividing pecans equally. Let stand uncovered 1 to 2 hours or until candies are firm and no longer glossy.
  • Wrap candies individually in waxed paper or plastic wrap. Store in airtight container.
