I want to find a candy recipe that is smiliar to See's candy butterscotch squares?

Question

I love See's candy butterscotch squares and I would like to make them at home instead of the 20 minutes drive to the mall. Anyone know of a recipie with a similar consistency. A slight sugar granual texture, but soft and melts in your mouth, a brown sugar maple flavor.

Answer 1

The butterscotch squares have a brown sugar base. Take a look at a recipe for penuche. Its very similar to what you are looking for. Here's one recipe:

1 cup brown sugar
2 cups granulated sugar
12 oz. can evaporated milk
1/8 tsp baking soda
1 T vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (opt)

Bring the sugars, milk and baking soda to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly because it will scorch easily. Using a candy thermometer, heat it to a "soft ball" stage and remove from heat. Set pan on wire rack and don't disturb until temperature drops to 110 degrees. Then beat in vanilla and nuts. Continue beating for 5 minutes to stiffen up the mixture and pour into an 8x8 inch butter pan. Using a buttered spatula, press the mixture down and cool. Cut into squares.

Answer 2

get about 20 blocks of caramel (or more), alot of peanuts, shreded cocoa, and two bars of chocolate. Melt them all together and mix them then spread the mixture on a nonstick plate but make sure to be a thin spread! Then cut htem into squares, they are ahrd but yummy, u wont stop eating them.
