Step	Description
1	In a saucepan, combine sugar, baking soda, butter, oleo, and buttermilk. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches the soft ball stage, about 15 minutes.
2	Remove the saucepan from heat and beat the mixture vigorously for several minutes until creamy and thickened.
3	Stir in the vanilla extract and chopped pecans until well combined.
4	Using a spoon, drop the candy mixture onto wax paper, forming small mounds.
