Bon A Petite!
Swedish Christmas Kola (Caramel Candy)
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup dark corn syrup
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/3 cups almonds, chopped
Mix all ingredients except the almonds in a large sauté pan, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Test by placing a drop of the hot caramel into a glass of cold water. If you can make a soft ball by rolling it between your fingers, it is ready.
Pour caramel onto a large nonstick baking sheet, and sprinkle with chopped almonds. Refrigerate to chill. When partially set, slice into small portions and wrap in wax paper squares cut to fit.
