ingredients

1 ¹⁄₂ cups unbleached granulated sugar (white sugar isn't vegan, since it's mixed with bone char)
³⁄₄ cup light brown sugar, packed
¹⁄₂ cup chocolate soymilk, plus
2 tablespoons chocolate soymilk
¹⁄₄ cup instant vanilla soymilk powder (optional, but makes them tastier)
¹⁄₄ cup vegan margarine spread (Earth Balance is best)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 ¹⁄₂ cups chopped pecans, toasted

directions

Throw everything but the pecans into a medium saucepan and stir well.
Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the syrup reaches 239F on a candy thermometer.
Immediately remove from heat and continue whisking.
Watch carefully, as the mixture cools, it will slowly begin to thicken and change, keep whisking.
When it starts to cloud and feels like its starting to set up, stop whisking and stir in the pecans.
Quickly drop by tablespoon onto parchment or a very well-greased cookie sheet, work fast because they firm up in no time.
Allow to sit until firm, and enjoy the sugar rush.

I'm a stay at home mom with a 3 year old son, and a student studying for my bachelors in environmental science. I learned how to cook from watching my Grandmother Dee growing up, as well as watching culinary shows after school. My first 'real' culinary try, was creme brulee at age 14, which tasted good but alot like flan. I have alot of my Grandmothers old cookbooks, including a Betty Crocker Recipe Box filled with recipe cards from the 1960's. I LOVE LOVE LOVE vintage cookbooks! Food is definitely a pleasure for me, and I love to change others opinions on eating. I also encourage others to try new things!  My passions are science, music, and art--as well as any DIY project!
