Pecan Caramel Chews

Directions

• Line a 13-in. x 9-in. pan with foil; butter the foil. Set aside. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, 1 cup cream and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until a candy thermometer reads 234° (soft-ball stage).
• Gradually stir in 1 cup cream. Cook until mixture returns to 234°. Gradually add remaining cream. Cook and stir until mixture reaches 240°.
• Remove from the heat. Stir in pecans and vanilla. Quickly pour into prepared pan; cool completely.
• Using foil, lift candy out of pan. Discard foil; cut candy into squares.
