Stir brown sugar and milk over low heat until dissolved: Cover the syrup for about 3 min. or until the steam has washed down any crystals which may have formed on the sides of the pan. Uncover and cook without stirring to 238 degrees. Remove from the heat and add marshmallows and butter.

Pour the cream a few drops at a time. Add chopped nuts if desired.
