Step 1

Combine brown sugar, cream, corn syrup and salt in a large sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring regularly. Add butter and let mixture low boil while stirring for 5-6 minutes or until it reaches 236- 240 degrees Fahrenheit using a candy thermometer or when mixture forms a ball when dropped in a measuring cup of cold water.

Step 2

Remove from heat and fold in pecans and vanilla with a wooden spoon. Stir constantly until candy begins to thicken (about 3-4 minutes). When it becomes the consistency of melted peanut butter, quickly drop heaping spoonfuls onto parchment paper to set.

Step 3

Let stand 30 minutes or until firm. Should be the consistency of fudge when ready.
