Ingredients

1 cup sugar

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

2/3 cup light corn syrup

2/3 cup water

1/2 cup Land O Lakes® Butter

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa

1 (5-ounce) can (2/3 cup) evaporated milk

2 (1-ounce) squares semi-sweet baking chocolate

1 teaspoon vanilla

How to make

  1. STEP 1

    Line 8-inch square pan with aluminum foil; butter foil in pan. Set aside.

  2. STEP 2

    Combine all ingredients except vanilla in heavy 3-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 7-12 minutes or until mixture comes to a boil. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, 22-25 minutes or until candy thermometer reaches 245°F or small amount of mixture dropped into ice water forms a firm but pliable ball. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.
