Cook, stirring constantly, until temperature reaches 240 degrees on a candy thermometer. Add butter and vanilla. Cook, stirring, until temperature returns to 240 degrees. Remove the pan from the heat. Add pecans and stir 1 minute until creamy. Drop the candy mixture by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared pans. Let candies stand about 30 minutes until firm.
