Directions:
Fondant:
Combine sugar, corn syrup, salt, butter and whipping cream and stir well to blend ingredients. Cook, stirring until mixture boils. Reduce heat and continue to cook to 228º without stirring. Use pastry brush with hot water to wash sides of pan down. Pour cooked mixture onto battered marble slab or cookie sheet. Do not touch. Allow to cool. When cool, beat candy with wooden spoon until mixture starts to set and looses gloss. Add vanilla. Divide fondant into 16 sections. Mold with hands to form a log. Place on caramel sections and roll. Store in plastic wrap.

Caramel:
Melt butter and add corn syrup and sugar. Cook to full boil. Add evaporated milk, a little at a time so candy does not stop boiling. Cook to firm ball stage, about 230º. Add vanilla and blend well. Place pecans on buttered 11x17 inch cookie pan with sides plus an 8x8 inch buttered pan. Pour cooked mixture over pecans. Cook and cut caramel in large pan into eight sections.
