Tips:

  • To make the candy, you will need a candy thermometer. This will help you ensure that the candy reaches the correct temperature, which is crucial for success.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to make the candy. This will help prevent the candy from burning.
  • Do not stir the candy while it is cooking. Stirring can cause the sugar crystals to recrystallize, which will result in a grainy texture.
  • Once the candy has reached the correct temperature, remove it from the heat and immediately stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and nuts.
  • Pour the candy onto a greased baking sheet and let it cool completely. Once it is cool, break it into pieces and enjoy.
