Steps

1. Spray a 9x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray; line with parchment paper.
2. Spread chopped pecans in a single layer on top of the parchment paper.
3. Add butter, sugar and salt to a heavy bottomed 3 quart pot; bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar. Once candy is boiling, stir occasionally, slowly and evenly, until candy has reached 290 degrees F to 300 degrees F, or "hard crack" on a candy thermometer.
