Brown Sugar Pecan Candies

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 2 cups coarsely chopped pecans

• Directions

In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugars, milk and corn syrup. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until a candy thermometer reads 238 degrees F (soft-ball stage).

Remove from the heat; stir in marshmallows and butter until melted. 

Add pecans and vanilla; stir only until mixture begins to thicken. Quickly drop by tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper. 

Cool until set. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
