Light brown sugar (one box)
2 tb Karo
2 tb Water
5 3/4 oz Evaporated milk
1/4 ts Salt
2 c Pecan halves
1/4 c Margarine

Be sure to cook this on a DRY day!

Pour sugar into heavy-bottom pot (such as pressure

Let come to boil over medium heat; stir in salt.
After boiling a while, stir in pecan halves and lower

While candy is resting, set out waxed paper. When
candy has cooled enough to not melt wax, stir in
margarine and drop by tablespoons. Yields 15 - 18
