Ingredients:

Serving

2 tsp plus 1 cup butter, divided
1-1/4 cups sugar
1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup dark corn syrup
2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
2 lb chopped pecans
1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

Line a 13-in. x 9-in. pan with foil; grease the foil with 2 teaspoons butter and set aside.
In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugars, corn syrup, 1 cup cream and the remaining butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil. Slowly stir in the remaining cream. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 245° (firm-ball stage).
Remove from the heat; stir in pecans and vanilla. Pour into prepared pan (do not scrape saucepan). Let stand until firm. Using foil, lift candy out of pan. Discard foil; cut candy into 1-in. squares. Wrap individually in waxed paper; twist ends. Yield: 4-1/4 pounds.
