    List of Ingredients




    1 cup butter
    few grains of salt
    14 ounces can sweetened condensed milk
    1 pound light brown sugar
    1 cup light corn syrup
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1 cup nuts (optional) -- chopped

    Recipe



    Use extra butter or margarine to grease a 9" square cake pan. Melt the 1
    cup of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar and salt
    to butter and mix well. Add corn syrup and milk. Stir constantly until
    mixture boils. Reduce heat to moderate and cook, stirring constantly,
    until a candy thermometer registers 245 degrees or a small amount of the
    mixture forms a firm ball when dropped into cold water. Remove pan from
    heat and gently stir in the vanilla. Pour into one corner of prepared
    pan, letting mixture flow into its own level in the pan. Let cool and
    then refrigerate overnight. Remove pan from the refrigerator and let
    stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, before cutting into 3/4"
    squares with a serrated knife. Wrap each piece in clear transparent
    plastic wrap. Makes about 2 1/2 pounds.
