Scale

1 cup pure maple syrup

1 cup coconut or white sugar

¾ cup unsweetened coconut milk or oat milk

2 tablespoons non-dairy butter

Pinch of fine sea salt

Optional: ¼ cup chopped pecans

In a saucepan, combine maple syrup, sugar, milk, and salt over medium heat.

Stir constantly until it starts boiling.

Insert candy thermometer and cook until the mixture reaches 234°F (soft-ball stage).

Remove from heat, add butter, and let sit 5 minutes.

Beat until thick and dull in appearance.

Fold in pecans if using and pour into parchment-lined pan.

Cool until firm, then cut into squares.
