My Mom, sisters and I would not feel like it was Christmas unless we had made this delicious candy. It tastes somewhere between fudge and caramels. It's best to use a wooden spoon to stir this candy with.

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups white sugar
4 cups white sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream
½ cup butter
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts

Steps:

  • Butter a 9x13 inch pan and set aside.
  • Place the 2 cups sugar in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar has completely melted.
  • Meanwhile, in a large heavy saucepan combine the 4 cups sugar and heavy cream. Stir and heat over low.
  • Once the 2 cups of sugar has completely melted, pour it in a fine stream into the sugar/cream mixture while stirring vigorously. Raise heat to medium low and cook, stirring frequently, until it reaches 244 to 248 degrees F (118 to 120 degrees C) on a candy thermometer.
  • Remove from heat and vigorously stir in the baking soda. Stir in the butter until melted. Set aside to cool for 20 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and beat with a wooden spoon until non-glossy and it starts to set up. Stir in the nuts and spread into the prepared pan. Cool and cut into bite-size pieces.
