1 c. packed brown sugar (dark or light)
1 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. evaporated milk
1 stick butter
1 tbsp. vanilla
1 heaping c. pecans (halves & chopped)

Place all ingredients in sauce pot but pecans. Bring to medium boil until mixture sample forms soft ball in water. Remove from heat, add pecans. Stir until thickness desired. Spoon out on wax paper. Makes 15 to 20.
