¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup evaporated milk
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup unsalted butter

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
Add 1 ¼ cup dark brown sugar, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup evaporated milk, and ¼ teaspoon baking soda to a medium, heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to medium-low.

Stir in ¼ cup unsalted butter, 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 dashes salt until combined. Stir in 2 cups toasted pecans and continue to stir for 2-3 minutes or until the mixture begins to thicken.
Carefully drop heaping tablespoon sized scoops onto the prepared baking sheet and let sit until cooled.
