Ingredients
- 2 cups light corn syrup
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 cup butter
- 4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cup chopped nuts if desired
- Tempered dipping chocolate if preferred or wax paper cut into rectangles
Instructions
- Butter a 9X13 baking pan. In heavy 6 quart Dutch oven, combine sugar, corn syrup, condensed milk, milk, cream and butter. Place over medium heat and stir occasionally with wooden spoon until comes to boil. Clip on candy thermometer.
- Please note it can take the sugar a long time to reach the proper temperature, be patient.
- Cook stirring constantly until reaches 240 degrees or soft ball stage. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and nuts. Pour without scraping into pan. Allow to stand overnight. Cut into 1-inch rectangles or squares. Wrap in wax paper or dip in chocolate.
Notes
- Candy making is as much science as art. The most important factors for success are accurate temperature reading and patience. Invest in a good candy thermometer and calibrate it before starting. Be prepared to stir constantly once the mixture begins to thicken—this prevents scorching and ensures even cooking. If you're making these in humid weather, you may need to cook to 242°F instead of 240°F to achieve the right consistency.
