This was my first time making candy and I have to say that I wouldn't do this again without my Grandma haha. But it was fun and worth it for the carmels.
Ingredients:
4 c. sugar
1/2 lb butter
4 c. whipping cream
3 c. karo light syrup
1 can evaporated milk (12oz)
1 c. chopped walnuts
2 tsp. vanilla
Mix all ingredients, except nuts and vanilla. Make sure you have a HEAVY pan atleast 7 quart size and a thick bottom. Cook over high heat, stirring it continuously until it starts to bubble. Turn down heat to medium high and keep stirring until candy thermometer reaches 242 degrees. This takes about 1 hour. After this add nuts and vanilla, mix well and pour into WELL BUTTERED 15x10x2 pan and let cool completely.
When carmel is cooled turn over onto cutting board and cut into small pieces. Wrap with wax paper. This makes about 5 lbs of carmels. YUM YUM.
