Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large saucepan, combine the butter, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Allow to boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove the mixture from the heat; stir in the pecans and vanilla. Add the confectioners’ sugar and stir until smooth and well combined.
