This was my uncle Lavel's recipe. He always made at Christmas and shared.
1 cup sugar
1 cup white corn syrup
1/2 cup half and half
1 tsp vanilla
4 cups corn flakes
1 cup coconut
1 cup pecans
Mix first four and cook to softball stage. Pour over remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix well. Spread in a buttered sheet pan but dont crush flakes. Cut when cool.
