Brown Sugar Candy

 This candy literally melts in your mouth. It is creamy, smooth and rich tasting. This candy does not have to be beaten until smooth, and it looses its gloss. This is the easy method, where you don't have to beat it to a certain point before you pour it into the pan. However, it is just as delicious.

Ingredients:

2 c. packed brown sugar
1 (12 oz. can) evaporated milk
1/2 c. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. miniature marshmallows
1 c. chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions:

Butter the bottom of an 8 or 9-inch baking pan. Set aside.

In a large saucepan, mix the evaporated milk, brown sugar, butter and salt.  Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.  Lower the heat to medium. Stirring occasionally, cook until the candy registers 238° or soft ball stage on a candy thermometer.

Remove the candy from the heat. Mix in miniature marshmallows, vanilla and walnuts if desired.  Stir until the marshmallows have completely melted.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. 

Cool completely before cutting into squares.  Serve and enjoy! Store in an airtight container.
