Preparation

Step 1

Line a 13x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting excess extend over sides of pan; spray parchment with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large heavy saucepan, bring butter and next 7 ingredients to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture registers 240° on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat, and stir in white chocolate and vanilla until melted and smooth. Stir in pecans, if desired.
Pour mixture into prepared pan, and let cool completely. Using excess parchment as handles, remove from pan before cutting into squares. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
