2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy or whipping cream

Directions
1. In small bowl, place pecans. Cook at high (100% power) 3 1/2 minutes, stirring after 1 1/2 minutes and 30 seconds thereafter, until pecans are lightly toasted; set aside.
2. In 8" by 8" baking dish, place butter or margarine and 2 tablespoons sugar. Cover with waxed paper. Cook at high 1 1/2 minutes or until butter or margarine melts.
