Cuisine: Mexican
Prep Time: 5 minutes plus 1 hour to chill 
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour and 25 minutes
Servings: 20

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 14 ounces (1 can) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla

Here's how to make it: 

1. Combine all the ingredients in a saucepot over low heat. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring often. 
2. Test the candy by taking a small amount and dropping it into cold water. If you can mold it with your fingers, it is ready. If not, continue cooking 2 to 3 more minutes and try again. 
3. When ready, pour the mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer or regular mixing bowl. With an electric mixer, beat for 5 minutes. 
4. Immediately pour the candy into an 8x8-inch baking pan that's been lined with parchment paper and sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Spread the candy with a rubber spatula. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until set. Cut into squares. The number of servings will vary depending on how big you cut the squares. This is a rich candy, so I make them smaller.
