- 2½ cups sugar
- ½ cup evaporated milk
- ½ cup corn syrup
- ½ cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-2½ cups chopped pecans
- 2½ cups grated coconut
Directions:
- Prepare the Mix-Ins: Set the chopped pecans, grated coconut, and vanilla extract aside for later use.
- Cook the Sugar Mixture: In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, evaporated milk, corn syrup, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil. Once boiling, let it continue to boil for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
