Categories     Snack

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups sugar
2 sticks butter (1 cup)
2 cups white corn syrup
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
2 12 oz. cans evaporated milk

Steps:

  • Melt the sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt together in a large, heavy-bottomed sauce pan over medium heat.
  • Once the mixture comes to a boil, add the evaporated milk a little at a time, taking 5-10 minutes per can and stirring constantly. A labor of love indeed.
  • Once all the milk is added use a candy thermometer and bring the mixture to 238F-240F and not any hotter! Even a few degrees hotter will make them chewy instead of soft.
  • Pour into a parchment lined 13x9 pan and cool completely. Cut and serve. Enjoy!
