2 c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. milk
Dash of salt
3 c. pecan halves
1 Tbsp. butter or margarine
1 tsp. vanilla

Combine sugars, milk and salt in a large heavy pan. Cook over low heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add nuts and cook to soft ball stage. Remove from heat. Without stirring, add butter, let stand 5 minutes. Add vanilla and stir until slightly thick and begins to look cloudy. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a buttered sheet. Will keep for days if individually wrapped.
