Ingredients

2 cups sugar
3/4 cup Canadian or English syrup (Lyle's, for example or any heavy, golden syrup)
1 cube butter or margarine
2 cups light cream (half & half)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup broken nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Boil sugar, golden syrup, butter and cream in heavy pan over medium heat until hard-ball stage on thermometer (or until several drops of candy mix dropped in cold water hold their shape.)

Remove from heat and allow to cool until warm. Add vanilla and beat until candy loses its gloss and holds its shape.

Add nuts and pour onto buttered dish. Should have the consistency of fudge, even though it's called caramel. Makes 3 dozen squares.
