PECAN BRITTLE

Category: Candy

1 cup pecan halves
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup white corn syrup
1/8 tsp salt
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla

Stir together sugar, syrup, and salt in a 1 1/2 quart bowl. Cook on high for 5 minutes. Add pecans, stir well. Cook on high for 2 minutes. Add butter and blend. Cook on high for 2-3 minutes or until pecans start to toast. Add soda and vanilla; stir until mixture turns a light caramel color. Quickly pour onto a lightly buttered cookie sheet. Cool and break into pieces. Rub butter on the inside of empty bowl. Mixture is not as likely to sugar and mixture pours out easier.
