Method

Make something worth remembering.

Method

Place the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup in a pan. Stir using medium heat.
Gradually add milk, stirring constantly until it reaches a firm ball (245°F). Stir in the vanilla. Pour onto a generously buttered 9 X 9 X 2 " pan. Cool. Cut into small squares and wrap in pieces of wax paper.

Family note

What makes this ours

My own recipe. I started making them about 10 years ago. Many family memories! Now, I make about 8 to 10 batches at Christmas time.
