3 cups light brown sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups chopped pecans
1 tablespoon butter

  • Remove from the heat and use a sturdy wooden spoon to stir in vanilla. Add butter and pecans and continue to stir until thick and creamy. It will lose some of its shine. Drop spoonfuls onto waxed paper and allow to cool at room temperature until set. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
