Butter Pecan Fudge

The last treat shared at work - and my favorite of the day - Butter Pecan Fudge.  The original recipe came from mrfood.com

1/2 c  Butter
1/2 c  Heavy Cream
1/2 c  Sugar
1/2 c  Light Brown Sugar
1 c  Pecan Halves
1 t  Vanilla
2 c  Confectioners Sugar

Line an 8 inch baking dish with non stick foil.  Set aside.

Toast pecan halves (heat a heavy skillet, add pecans, stir constantly until toasted - 1 to 2 minutes)

In a large saucepan (at least 4 quart), add butter, cream and sugars.

Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.

Allow to boil 4 minutes and remove from heat.  Stir in pecans and vanilla.  

Add confectioners sugar and stir until smooth and well combined (will take some muscle).  

Spread into a baking dish.

Cool to room temperature, cut and serve.  Store in the refrigerator.
