List of Ingredients



• 3 cups sugar
  
• 4 heaping tablespoons cocoa
  
• 3 Tbsp light corn syrup
  
• 1 cup evaporated milk
  
• 6 Tbsp butter
  
• 1 cup chopped pecans
  
• 1½ tsp vanilla
  






Instructions



1. Mix sugar and cocoa; add syrup and milk. Cook in saucepan over medium heat until a small drop forms a soft ball in cold water (234° to 240°F on a candy thermometer). Remove from heat.
   
   
2. Add butter, pecans, and vanilla. Beat with mixer or by hand. Pour into a slightly buttered oblong glass dish and cut into squares. Work fast, as mixture thickens quickly.
