Ingredients:
2/3 cup light corn syrup

Directions:

  1. Blend the butter, corn syrup, salt, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.

  3. Finally, knead with your hands until it is well-blended and smooth.
Variations:
Fruit Nut -Add 2 cups finely chopped mixed candied fruit and 1 cup chopped nuts.
Maple Nut -Add 2 teaspoons maple flavoring and 2/3 cups finely chopped nuts.
Mint -Add 1 teaspoon pure mint extract and 1/2 teaspoon green food coloring if you want it colored.
