Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Combine the base ingredients: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups of sugar, 1 cup of heavy cream, and 1/2 cup of light corn syrup. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Boil the mixture: Bring the mixture to a boil, letting it bubble away without stirring until it reaches the soft ball stage—about 240°F (115°C).
- Add flavor and richness: Remove from heat and add 1/4 cup of unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Cool your candy mixture: Let the mixture cool slightly before pouring it onto a greased surface.
- Pull the candy: When it’s cool enough to handle, start pulling the candy until it turns light in color and shiny.
- Shape and cut: Shape into ropes and cut into bite-sized pieces, dusting with powdered sugar.
- Cool completely: Allow the candy to cool completely before serving.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Ensure well dusted with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
