English Caramels

My favorite things-- sugar, cream and butter-- all in one candy. Instead of cutting in squares, I like to make about 8 rolls and roll them in nuts (pecans is my favorite.)

2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups white corn syrup
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1/2 cup butter (no substitute)
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups nuts

1. Mix sugar, syrup, 1 cup cream and butter.
2. Cook until it boils vigorously, then gradually add the other 1/2 cup cream.
3. Cook over medium to low heat and stir every 4 or 5 minutes.
4. Cook till a hard ball may be formed in cold water.
5. Remove from fire and add vanilla and nuts.
6. Pour into a greased pan. Cool
7. Cut into squares and wrap in wax paper or make into rolls and roll in nuts and slice for serving.
