I love making this candy with my girls. They alwyas like to make more and bring them into school to share with their friends.
ABOUT 14 MINUTES

x 2-inch baking pan with lightly buttered waxed paper or aluminum
foil. Set aside.

in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring
occasionally. Cook for 9 minutes once mixture begins to boil.
