1 cup brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups pecans
1/2 cup evaporated milk

Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Cook over medium heat to soft ball stage (234-240°F on candy thermometer), stirring constantly.

Cool slightly. Beat until mixture starts to thicken.

Drop candy rapidly from a spoon onto greased waxed paper to form patties.

Tip: If candy becomes too stiff to make smooth patties, stir in a little hot water.

Cooks Note: Use of a candy thermometer is recommended
