Ingredients (view qty in metric system instead)
1 1/2 cups sugar 3/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp. evaporated milk 1/4 cup butter 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups pecan halves, lightly toasted
Directions
Line 2 sheet pans with buttered wax paper. Combine both sugars, and evaporated milk in a medium saucepan. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Cook, stirring constantly, until temperature reaches 240 degrees on a candy thermometer. Add butter and vanilla. Cook, stirring, until temperature returns to 240 degrees. Remove the pan from the heat. Add pecans and stir 1 minute until creamy. Drop the candy mixture by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared pans. Let candies stand about 30 minutes until firm. Peel candies off the wax paper. Store in a cool place in an airtight container.
