Instructions

  1. Grease a 13 x 9 inch baking pan; set aside.
  2. In a heavy 4 quart saucepan, combine milk, butter, corn syrup, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Place over medium heat and stir occasionally with a wooden spoon until mixture comes to a boil. Clip on a candy thermometer. Cook to the soft-ball stage, 234 degrees F.
  3. Pour, without scraping, into a baking pan.
  4. Cool to lukewarm.
  5. Add vanilla extract. Stir with a wooden spoon until mixture thickens.
  6. Add nuts and continue stirring until candy loses its gloss.

Notes

Variation: Use 1 teaspoon maple extract in place of the vanilla extract.
