Combine brown sugar, butter and evaporated milk in a 3 qt. saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches soft ball stage (238 degrees). Remove from heat, stir in butterscotch morsels and marshmallow creme. Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until mixture is smooth and just begins to cool. Stir in chopped pecans, brickle chips and vanilla. Spread mixture evenly into two buttered 8 inch pans. Cool completely and cut into squares. Gently press a pecan half on each square of fudge, if desired. Store airtight. Yields 3 pounds. |
