Reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally (stir down any foam). When candy reaches 240° . Stir constantly to avoid scorching and cook to firm ball stage (246-248°). Remove from heat at once and let stand about 2 minutes. Add vanilla; stir to mix. Pour into lightly buttered 9" pan. When candy starts to get firm, mark in 3/4" strips with knife. When cool and firm, cut in strips. Remove from pan. Place on cutting board and cut each strip into 10-11 pieces. May add chopped nuts with the vanilla. Takes about 1 1/2 hours to make. |
