1 c. butter
2 c. sugar
1 c. light corn syrup
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 t. vanilla
2 c. broken walnuts, pecans, almonds or peanuts Slice butter into pieces and melt in saucepan. Add sugar, corn syrup and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly and cook until it reaches 240 degrees on a candy thermometer. Mixture will turn a golden color. Remove from heat and add nuts; stir in vanilla. Pour into lightly greased baking pan. (Using butter to grease your pan will give the chews more flavor and allow them to slip out of the pan easily.) Let cool and harden at room temperature for 2-3 hours. They are ready to cut when you press down on them and it doesn't leave a mark. Cut waxed paper into squares. Use a flexible spatula to cut out chews in approximately 1" x 2" pieces. Wrap in waxed paper by rolling it and twisting the ends.
