3 cups granulated sugar (I don't know why but it tastes different with this type of sugar), 2 cups milk, pecans(try Harry's pecans good quality), and butter.
Place 1 cup sugar in pan and melt to a brownish color.
When melted add 1 cup milk.
Then add the rest of the milk and sugar. Boil until it forms a sort of soft ball in cold water. Remove from Pan, add butter and pecans, and beat thoroughly(better if it is well beaten). Pour on buttered dish or oiled paper and cut into whatever shape you want!
Have fun with this!
Use about 1/4 pounds of butter and as many pecans as desired.
Be sure to cook over 60 degrees F
