Ingredients:  
4½ c. sugar
1/2 c. unsalted butter
1 13oz can evaporated milk

3 c. coarsely chopped pecans (can toast them before chopping/I chop in food processor)

Directions:
Directions:
Line 9x13 glass pan with waxed paper leaving enough paper hanging over to fold down and cover entire dish. Spray waxed paper with nonstick spray. Combine sugar, butter & milk in 2qt heavy saucepan and bring to simmer over medium heat. At first sign of bubble, simmer 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add all ingredients except 1 cup nuts. Spread into pan. Sprinkle with remaining nuts, pressing lightly into surface. Chill until firm and remove from pan. Store in 2 halves in ziplock bags in fridge. Cut into inch squares and place individual squares in Christmas mini muffin paper cups.
I like to make a pan in early December and cut squares as needed to take to holiday parties. It keeps in fridge for couple weeks.
