How to make it

  • Her instructions exactly as written:
  • Take half butter and toast pecans and salt slightly.
  • Boil candy for three minutes-rolling boil-add vanilla; add nuts,
  • beat and beat and beat, then either drop or pour in pan for cutting.
  • ******************************************************************
  • I toast the chopped pecans in 3 tbsp. of butter
  • Combine the sugar, karo, milk, remaining butter in large heavy bottomed sauce pan, bring to rolling boil and time for three minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla and nuts.
  • Beat with a wooden spoon until it becomes pliable and cools down significantly. A real work out for the upper arms.
  • Instead of pouring into a 9 x 9. I think it would be better dropped by the spoonful on a sheet of waxed paper to harden.

    I used to make this, but I cooked the sugar/milk/karo for 4 rolling min. then beat it with mixer, before it loses it's gloss, add the pecans/butter then pour into buttered dish. I'd forgotten all about this one, thanks for the post! Gotta make it again! Yumm
