Preparation

Step 1

Put the
butter, sugar and water in a frying pan and turn the heat up high. Don’t turn
it down. Stir the whole time. It takes about 10 – 15 minutes to make. Cook it
until the color turns caramel.

. Take it off
the heat and add the vanilla.

Pour the
candy over the sliced almonds or chopped walnuts. I have a marble slab that I
pour the candy on, but you can use a cookie sheet set on a bread board. The
candy gets so hot, I wouldn’t put the cookie sheet directly on Formica. It
might burn through. If you want the candy covered with chocolate, sprinkle
pieces on top while it’s hot and let it melt. Spread it out.

Cool, break
it into pieces and enjoy. Plan on making several batches.
