    1 tsp. vanilla
    2 1/2 cups pecan halves

    1. In a medium saucepan, mix together the sugars, milk, cream of tartar and Karo syrup. Cook the mixture at medium heat until it reaches 250 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and add the butter and vanilla. Stir until butter is melted and mixture is blended.

    2. Place the saucepan in cold water to cool the mixture. Beat until creamy. Add the pecan halves.
