There are 7 ingredients in this recipe, but the directions only use 5..It says to combine the first 3 ingredients, then it says to add the last 2, but the 2 middle ingredients, sweetened condensed milk and margarine are left out. Maybe this was a typo and the first part should say to add the first 5 ingredients...the numbers 3 and 5 do look alike and easy to mix up.

Grease sides and bottom of large saucepan. Add sugar, cream, Karo syrup, and butter. Cook, stirring constantly, to soft ball stage or 238 degrees F on candy thermometer. Remove from heat and add pecans. Return to heat and cook to hard ball stage or 250 degrees F, about 1 hour total cooking time. Add vanilla. Let cool slightly and drop on greased cooked sheet, but not on waxed paper! When cold, wrap in squares of plastic wrap.
