1/2 cup pecans
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 cups whipping cream
3/4 cup light corn syrup
Toast pecans on cookie sheet in the oven at 350 for about 8 minutes or until fragrant. Cool; chop fine with sharp knife. Butter the inside of an 8-inch square glass baking dish. Sprinkle pecans evenly over bottom of dish; set aside.
