Zubereitung von Brown Sugar Candy
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Bring the mixture to a boil without stirring. Continue to cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the candy reaches 245°F (118°C) on a candy thermometer (soft-ball stage). This will take approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and carefully pour the hot mixture into a buttered 8x8 inch baking dish. Let it cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, beat 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional).
- Gently fold the butter mixture into the cooled candy. Beat until the mixture starts to lose its shine and become dull.
- Pour the candy into the buttered dish, spreading evenly. Let it cool and set completely, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Once set, score the candy into squares or your desired shape and cut with a sharp knife.
