The old-fashioned flavor of these butterscotch candies appeals to kids of all ages. My family can't stop eating them! Ingredients:
1 teaspoon plus 1/2 cup butter, softened, divided |
2 cups sugar |
1/4 cup light corn syrup |
2 tablespoons water |
2 tablespoons white vinegar |
Directions:
1. Line a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan with foil. Grease the foil with 1 teaspoon butter; set aside.
2. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, water, vinegar and remaining butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook for 3 minutes to dissolve any sugar crystals.
3. Uncover; cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage). Remove from the heat. Pour into prepared pan without scraping the saucepan; do not spread mixture.
4. Cool for 1-2 minutes or until candy is almost set. Using a sharp knife, score into 1/2-in. squares; cool completely. Break squares apart. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 1 pound.
