Description

Kentucky Cream Pull Candy is a traditional sweet treat with a soft, chewy texture and rich buttery flavor. A nostalgic homemade candy that melts in your mouth and is perfect for holidays or special occasions.


Ingredients

2 cups sugar

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup light corn syrup

1/4 cup butter

1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional: pinch of salt


Instructions

1. In a saucepan, combine sugar, cream, corn syrup, and butter.

2. Cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.

3. Continue cooking without stirring until mixture reaches 120°C (soft-ball stage).

4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla (and salt if using).

5. Pour onto a buttered surface and let cool slightly.

6. Once cool enough to handle, begin pulling the candy until it becomes light and creamy.

7. Stretch and fold repeatedly until texture thickens.

8. Cut into small pieces and let set.


Notes

Use a candy thermometer for accuracy.

Work quickly while candy is still warm.

Grease hands with butter to prevent sticking.

Store in an airtight container.
