Pecan Candy

Ingredients:
1 can condensed milk
1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp butter
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups pecans

In a heavy saucepan mix condensed milk and sugar before turning on heat. Cook on medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until soft ball stage. (Soft ball stage is when candy forms a ball in cold water.)

Add vanilla and butter (this will make a noise!). Stir until combined. Add pecans and combine.

Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper or spread out and cut into squares or break apart.

Note: We tossed it into the freezer with a cutting board holding the wax paper to have it harden quicker.


Updates: The photo above is not the correct color, it should be more of a carmel color. We made this a 2nd time around and cooked it a bit longer making in darker.
