Georgia Pecan Nuggets

1. 1

   In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar and evaporated milk. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. When it starts to boil, attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan.

2. 2

   Cook until the temperature reaches 232 degrees F (112 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when lifted out and set on a flat surface.

3. 3

   Take the pan off the heat and stir in vanilla with a sturdy wooden spoon.

4. 4

   Add butter and pecans, and keep stirring until the mixture is thick and creamy and loses some of its shine.

5. 5

   Drop spoonfuls onto waxed paper and let cool at room temperature until set.

6. 6

   Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
