1 1/2 c. white sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar, packed
1/4 c. plus 2 tbsp. butter
1/2 c. half and half
2 c. pecan halves

Combine all ingredients in pan. Cook over low heat, stirring gently until dissolved. Cover and cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes to wash sugar crystals from side of pan. Cook to soft boil stage or 235°F on candy thermometer, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and beat with wooden spoon until mixture begins to thicken. Work quickly, dropping by tablespoon onto greased waxed paper. Let stand until firm.

Makes 1 1/2 dozen. Wonderful.
