Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare your pan
Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the candy base
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, milk, and butter. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Step 3: Cook to perfection
Once it reaches a steady boil, continue cooking for 5–6 minutes, or until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (about 234°F / 112°C on a candy thermometer).
Step 4: Add flavor and nuts
Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla, salt, and chopped nuts. Mix until well combined and slightly thickened.
Step 5: Pour and cool
Pour the candy mixture into your prepared pan. Let it cool completely, then cut into squares or small pieces.
Step 4: Tips for the Best Candy
✅ Use fresh nuts for the best flavor and crunch.
✅ Stir continuously — sugar can burn quickly.
✅ For a creamier texture, add 2 tablespoons of marshmallow cream before stirring in the nuts.
