Directions:

  1. Place both types sugar and the cream in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.

Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes. Beat the mixture with a wooden spoon until the candy coats the pecans but does not lose its gloss.

They can be eaten as is, stored in tins, or crumbled over vanilla ice cream for a New Orleans - style dessert.
