How to make it

  • Line cookie sheet with waxed paper; set aside.
  • In 2-quart saucepan, combine pudding mix, granulated sugar, brown sugar,
  • evaporated milk, and butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture
  • boils
  • (about 12 minutes). Clip a candy thermometer to side of pan. Reduce heat to
  • medium-low; continue boiling at a moderate, steady rate, stirring
  • frequently,
  • until thermometer registers 234 degrees F, soft-ball stage (8 to 10
  • minutes). Remove saucepan from heat. Remove candy thermometer.
  • Stir in pecans. Beat with a wooden spoon until candy just begins to thicken
  • but is still glossy (about 3 minutes). Working quickly, drop by teaspoonfuls
  • onto prepared cookie sheet. (If candy sets up too much, add a few drops of
  • hot water and stir until smooth again.) Let stand until firm. Makes about 30
  • pieces.
