Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups sugar
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup Land O Lakes® Butter
1 cup milk
1 cup whipping cream
1 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

Butter a 13x9-inch pan; set aside. Combine all ingredients except vanilla in heavy 4-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted and mixture comes to a boil, about 15 to 20 minutes. Continue cooking, until candy thermometer reaches 244°F, or small amount of mixture dropped into ice water forms a firm ball, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Pour into prepared pan. Cool completely. Cut into 1 1/2x1-inch pieces; wrap candies in plastic food wrap. Store refrigerated.
