Ingredients

• 2 cups brown sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Grease a 9x9 inch pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, unsalted butter, and heavy cream.

Step 3

Stir the mixture constantly until the butter is fully melted and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.

Step 4

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue stirring for 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 6

Let the mixture cool for 5-10 minutes, then gradually sift in the powdered sugar, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Allow the candy to set at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or until firm. For faster setting, refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 9

Once the candy is fully set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.

Step 10

Cut the candy into small squares or desired shapes using a sharp knife and serve.

Step 11

Store the candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
