How to Make Date Candy Ii

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/4 cup light corn syrup.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula. Be careful, as the mixture will be hot.
  3. Continue boiling and stirring until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (238°F on a candy thermometer).
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in 1 cup pitted dates, 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or your favorite), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Beat the mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until it thickens and loses its gloss. This will take several minutes.
  6. Turn the candy out onto a lightly greased marble or silicone surface. Shape into a log or desired form using buttered hands.
