Ingredients

1 pound (500g or Two and a half cups ) castor (super fine) sugar

ź pound (125g or one stick) butter

1 dessert spoon treacle (molasses)

3 dessert spoons golden syrup (alternatively, light corn syrup)

1 tsp vanilla

1 large tin condensed milk

5 or 6 dessert spoons water

1. Place the butter, sugar, treacle, syrup and water into a pan and heat, stirring constantly.

2. Once all the ingredients are well mixed and melted, add the condensed milk slowly, stirring occasionally until it boils.

3. Continue on a slow boil for 15-20 minutes, again stirring occasionally.
