Steps:
- 1. Place the first four items in a heavy saucepan. Stir to combine.
- 2. Bring to a boil and continue cooking on a low boil, uncovered, for approx one hour until soft ball stage (235-240*), stirring occasionally.
- 3. While cooking, prepare a spot on your counter top with waxed paper to drop candy on.
- 4. At soft ball stage, remove from heat and add margarine/butter stirring until melted.
- 5. Add powdered sugar, sifting if needed, and red coloring. (I use extra for more color)
- 6. Stir to combine well. Keep stirring until it just starts to thicken.
- 7. Quickly drop by spoonfulls onto waxed paper. The nuts should be flat, not in a pile. If candy starts to get too thick, just place pan back on heat to warm slightly.
- 8. Depending on your preference, they can be any size you like. I prefer to eat several that are 2" across. Bobby likes bigger ones. Your choice will always be right.
- 9. ENJOY
