My mom made candy for Christmas, all my life. This is one I remember. It is so delicious and so smooth and creamy. It is very good dipped in chocolate, but my pictures show the candy, not dipped.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 c sugar
2 c heavy cream
1 c light corn syrup
2 tsp vanilla
4 1/3 Tbsp unsalted butter

Steps:

  • 1. Combine sugar, cream and corn syrup in a large pan. Cook to soft ball stage on a candy thermometer.
  • 2. Put 4 tablespoons butter on 2 large platters. Pour the candy onto the platters and let cool. While the candy is cooling, prepare a 9x13 pan by buttering the pan. Or you can line with foil and butter the foil. This makes for easier cutting of the candy once done.
  • 3. Add vanilla and beat until creamy and it has lost it's glossy appearance, pour into the prepared pan and let set up.
  • 4. Added nuts are optional.
  • 5. NOTE: If you don't have a thermometer, you can drop a small amount of candy into a bowl of ice water. If it makes a soft ball that flattens when removed from the ice water, it is done.
  • 6. There are more detailed instructions for candy in my "Mom's Fudge" recipe.

Tips:

  • To make the candy filling, be sure to use confectioners' sugar and not granulated sugar, as the confectioners' sugar will dissolve more easily and give the filling a smooth texture.
  • When making the chocolate ganache, use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. You can use semisweet, bittersweet, or dark chocolate, depending on your preference.
  • To cut the candy into squares, use a sharp knife and be sure to wipe the knife clean between cuts to prevent the candy from sticking.
  • Store the candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
