2 c. sugar
3/4 c. sweet milk
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 c. pecans or walnuts

Beat until creamy and drop to form patties on wax paper over which salt has been sprinkled. As candy cooks, it will turn golden brown. The finished candy is similar to pralines in appearance but different in flavor.
