Ingredients
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Light Corn Syrup
  • 1/2 Cup Molasses
  • 2 Cups Whole Pecans
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda

Directions
  1. In a sauce pot combine the sugar, molasses, and corn syrup at medium-high heat. Stir and cook until the sugar dissolves (approximately 5 minutes).
  2. Add pecans and salt and cook another 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. After 12 minutes, quickly stir in your baking soda and then empty the contents into a greased cookie sheet (for this, I like to use the disposable cookie sheets because they are pliable and less of a chance of the brittle sticking to the cookie sheet).
  4. Place in the refrigerator for 5 hours or longer to harden.
  5. After 5 hours, remove from the refrigerator and with the end of a sturdy utensil crack, serve, and enjoy.
