I love making this classic butterscotch recipe. We think these irresistible bites are better than the store-bought variety... and they sure don't last long! Ingredients:
1 teaspoon plus 1 cup butter, divided |
2-1/2 cups sugar |
3/4 cup water |
1/2 cup light corn syrup |
1/4 cup honey |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon rum extract |
Directions:
1. Butter a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan with 1 teaspoon butter; set aside. Cube remaining butter and set aside.
2. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, water and corn syrup. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat without stirring. Cook, uncovered, until a candy thermometer reads 270° (soft-crack stage). Add the honey, salt and remaining butter; stir constantly until the mixture reaches 300° (hard-crack stage).
3. Remove from the heat. Stir in the rum extract. Pour into prepared pan without scraping; do not spread. Cool for 1-2 minutes or until the candy is almost set. Score into 1-in. squares; cool completely. Break squares apart. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 1-1/2 pounds.
