Hazırlanışı
Adım adım
- 1
Thoroughly grease an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with the softened butter and set it aside.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: Lining the pan with parchment paper after greasing can make it easier to lift the candy out later.
- 2
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, evaporated milk, water, salt, and the butter designated for the candy.
Yaklaşık 3 dk.
- 3
Place the pan over medium heat and stir constantly with a silicone spatula until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: Make sure no sugar crystals are stuck to the side of the pan to prevent crystallization.
- 4
Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, ensuring the tip is submerged in the mixture but not touching the bottom.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
- 5
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat slightly to maintain a steady boil, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
- 6
Continue cooking, monitoring the temperature closely, until the thermometer reaches the hard-ball stage, 260°F (127°C).
Yaklaşık 10 dk.
Aşçının notu: This stage is crucial for the final texture, so do not rush it or leave the pan unattended.

Immediately remove the pan from the heat once it reaches the target temperature.

Carefully stir in the baking soda; the mixture will foam up.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
Aşçının notu: Work quickly in the next steps as the candy will begin to set.

Add the chopped pecans and stir vigorously for about one minute until they are evenly incorporated.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.

Quickly pour the hot candy mixture into your prepared baking pan.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.

Use a spatula to spread the mixture into an even layer before it starts to harden.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
- 12
Let the candy cool completely at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until firm to the touch.
Yaklaşık 2 sa.
Aşçının notu: Do not refrigerate to cool, as this can affect the texture.
- 13
Once fully cooled and firm, turn the slab of candy out onto a cutting board and use a large, sharp knife to cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: If the candy is difficult to cut, you can lightly score the top when it's partially set.
