- 2 Cups packed brown sugar
- 2 Table spoons of Butter
- 2 Cups Pecan Halves
- 3/4 Cup evaporated milk
In heavy mid-size pan mix the brown sugar and evaporated milk. Cook and stir over medium heat to boiling. Clip a candy thermometer to side of pan, cook and stir until it reaches 234 degrees (About 10 minutes). Stir in butter and pecans, let mixture stand 10 minutes then beat candy vigorously. Very quickly drop by spoonful onto foil. If candy becomes too stiff, stir in a few drops of water. Cool and store tightly covered. Makes about 20. Kids can help make this for holiday gifts.
