Yield 64 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter flavor shortening
3/4 cup light corn syrup
2 cups eggnog
1 dash ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with a double-thickness of foil; coat well with cooking spray.
  • Place all ingredients in a heavy, deep-sided saucepan; attach a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan.
  • Bring mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Lower heat to medium and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches 245 degrees F.
  • Immediately pour caramel mixture into prepared pan; cool and refrigerate for 3 hours or more, until completely firm.
  • Using foil, lift caramel slab from prepared pan. Pull the foil down from the sides of the caramel.
  • Using a long knife, trim the edges off the caramel slab (these are ideal for nibbling!), and then cut the block of caramel into 8 rows. Cut each row into 8 squares.
