Description

A rich and creamy butter candy that melts in your mouth.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup + 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1 1/4 cups Sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup Corn Syrup
  • 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 tsp Vanilla

Instructions

  1. Line a 9 x 13 pan with aluminum foil. Use entire 1 tbsp butter to grease the foil.
  2. In a large, deep sauce pan over medium heat combine 1 cup butter, sugars, corn syrup, and 1 cup heavy cream.
  3. Stir constantly until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted. Bring to a boil, but not a rolling boil.
  4. Slowly stir in additional 1 cup heavy cream.
  5. Cook without stirring until candy thermometer reads 240 degrees.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
  7. Pour into prepared pan. Do not scrape sides of the sauce pan where crystals have formed. Scraping bottom and partial sides to get remaining liquid is okay.
  8. Let stand until firm.
  9. Lift out of the pan and peel foil off. Cut into oblong pieces, wrap individually in waxed paper or candy foils, and twist ends to close.

Notes

  • This candy can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
  • Ensure that the candy thermometer is accurate for the best results.
