1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 cup pecan pieces
Recipe
Prepare an 8 inch square dish with foil before you begin making the fudge.
In a large, heavy saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, brown sugar, cream, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Boil for five minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; stir in the vanilla. Stir in the confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Fold in the pecans. You won't have long to get these stirred together and into the dish as it will start to set up quickly.
Spread into the 8 inch square dish you've already lined with foil. Score the candy to make cutting after it is cooled easier. Cool to room temperature.
