I LOVE LOVE LOVE this candy, very easy to make i had a small problem the 1st time with to much butter & heat control, now that's solved i make them about once a week & hand them out to my family & friends they're a big hit with everyone. I've used different nuts and it's just as good.

I've made this recipe four times - modifying after the first time. These are very good! Chewy, nutty, with a rich caramel flavor. I reduced the vanilla to 2 TEASPOONS and added it after the caramel was removed from the stove. Adding it at the beginning burns off all of the vanilla flavor. It is very difficult to check the temperature on the glob of candy as it moves around the pan towards the end of the cooking time. I just made sure it was a nice, thick caramel consistency before removing it from the heat. I got 24 pieces of candy out of each batch. I also tried it with adding 2 ounces of finely chopped dark chocolate (not chips at the end when adding the pecans. It is good if you like chocolate caramels. These are best when eaten the same day.
