Place toasted pecans in the bottom of 8X8 pyrex pan. Put butter, sugar, and water in medium heavy sauce pan and cook at high tempeture. I always break up my butter in small pieces in the sauce pan. Stir with wooden spoon throughout the cooking time. The mix should always appear fluffy at all times.

Cook until mixture turns an amber color, starts to leave the sides of the pan, and is slightly smoking, take off heat and turn immediately over onto prepared nuts. The cooking time is relatively short, depending on your stove, approx. 7 to 8 mins with a gas stove and 10-11 mins with an electric stove.
