Whenever I think about brown sugar candy I think about one of my favorite uncles. He has been gone for years and I seldom saw him the last 20 or 30 years of his life. He loved brown sugar fudge so anytime I make brown sugar candy I am reminded of him. Sometimes I wonder what is better, the candy or the memories.
3/4 cup butter
3 cups packed light brown sugar
1 can (5-oz) evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 lb powdered sugar
1/2 cup chopped black walnuts*
Butter a 9-inch square pan or dish; set aside.
In a heavy saucepan bring the butter, brown sugar, and milk to a boil. Cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and walnuts. Beat the mixture just until it begins to thicken. Pour candy into the prepared pan or dish. Let stand until cool; this candy sets-up quickly. Cut into 36 squares and place on plate, in a candy dish or may be kept in an airtight container.
*If you do not have black walnuts or just don't like them, substitute English walnuts.
