| Ingredients | |
| 5-1/4 cups | pecan halves |
| 4tablespoons | butter, softened, divided |
| 1/2cup | sugar |
| 1/2 cup | condensed milk |
| 1/2 teaspoon | salt |
| 1 teaspoon | vanilla extract |
Directions
Place pecans in a shallow baking pan in a 250° oven for 10 minutes or until warmed. Grease a 15x10x1-in. baking pan with 1 tablespoon butter; set aside.
Grease the sides of a large heavy saucepan with remaining butter; add sugar, condensed milk, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly to dissolve sugar. Cover; cook 2 minutes to dissolve any sugar crystals that may form on the sides of pan.
Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 236° (soft-ball stage). Remove from the heat; add vanilla. Stir in warm pecans until evenly coated.
Spread onto prepared baking pan. Bake at 250° for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Spread on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet to cool
