In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cream, sugar, maple syrup, butter and salt and bring to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon to dissolve the sugar. Attach a candy thermometer in the center of the pan and simmer over medium heat without stirring until the thermometer reads 237 degrees F (114 degrees C). Add the vanilla extract without stirring.
Place the pan in a cold water bath. Cool, without stirring, until the thermometer reads 113 degrees F (45 degrees C), about 20 minutes.
Remove the pan from the water bath. Using an electric mixer or a wooden spoon, stir vigorously until the mixture begins to lighten in color and become creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Please note that if you whip too much, the sugar and cream mixture will harden before you have time to pour it into the pan.
Pour immediately into the prepared pan and smooth with a spatula. Garnish with crushed toasted pecans and Maldon salt. Cover with plastic wrap. Let cool for about 1 hour at room temperature or 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Remove from the pan and remove from the plastic wrap. Cut into squares. Store in an airtight container.

Good gravy! This is just like Sucre a la Creme I grew up with. Here's a note: I used a really deep stainless steal pot. Doing that prevented the mixture from boiling over and it allowed it the space to bubble away until it reached the right temp. Use a thermometer as well as doing the soft ball test into ice water. DELISH!!!!

The recipe was simple and fun. I made three batches and the first time I let it cool down in the ice bath to around the 113 degrees then mixed it. I could only get half of the mixture out of the pot, so the next couple times I moved quickly and didn't let it cool as much... I don't know if this affects the texture when it sets but no one seemed to complain one bit! It was a HUGE hit! Thanks Chuck!
