2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

(I have found that using Release aluminum foil works better).
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine sugars and corn syrup.
Heat to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
Remove from heat, and stir in butter until melted.
Gradually stir in cream.
Return to heat.
Cook, stirring constantly, until temperature reaches 242 degrees F (116 degrees C).
Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla and pecans.
Drop by spoonful onto prepared pans.
Cool completely, then wrap each piece individually with plastic.
