This is not a hard candy. It is chewy and absolutely divine.

2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 pint heavy cream
1/2 cup butter
1 3/4 cups light corn syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups chopped pecans

Mix sugar and cocoa. Add other ingredients in heavy pot. Cook at medium to medium-high heat until candy thermometer reaches 246 degrees F.

Grease a 13 x 9-inch pan with butter and pour in candy. Let cool and cut into squares. Wrap each piece of candy in plastic wrap, twisting the ends.

Makes 2 to 3 dozen.
