Ingredients

• 1 pinch salt
• 2 teaspoons vinegar
• 0.25 cup butter
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup water

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Gather all ingredients. Generously butter a 10x15-inch baking pan (with sides).

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, butter, white sugar, water, vinegar, and salt.

Step 3

Cover and bring to a boil. Remove lid and heat, without stirring, to 270 to 290 degrees F (132 to 143 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard but pliable threads.

Step 4

Pour in vanilla, but do not stir. Remove from the heat and pour into prepared pan.

Step 5

Let cool slightly before cutting into squares and allowing candy to cool completely.
