1Prep: Butter the bottom and side of an 8x8 container and set aside. Fill the sink with two inches of cold water to be used to cool down the mixture in the cooking pan.

2Mix fix first 5 ingredients in pan. Cook on medium high heat using candy thermometer to monitor temperature. NOTE: The candy thermometer should be clipped on the side of the pot and not ever touching the bottom. Stir constantly to prevent sticking and/or burning. When temperature reaches 220 (just below soft ball state) remove pot from heat. Remove candy thermometer.
