Description

Ingredients

• 4 cups sugar
• 2 sticks butter (1 cup)
• 2 cups white corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 2 12oz. cans evaporated milk

Directions

• Melt the sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt together in a large, heavy-bottomed sauce pan over medium heat. Once the mixture comes to a boil, add the evaporated milk a little at a time, taking 15 minutes per can and stirring constantly. A labor of love indeed. Once all the milk is added use a candy thermometer and bring the mixture to 238F and not a touch hotter! Even 2 degrees hotter will make them chewy instead of soft. Pour into a parchment lined 13x9 pan and cool completely. Cut and serve. Enjoy!
