NUT CARAMELS 
1 c. evaporated milk
1 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. chopped nuts
1/4 c. butter
1 c. corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla

Heat milk and butter in separate pan and set aside, keeping hot. In another heavy saucepan, mix sugar, corn syrup and salt. Stir constantly and cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil and sugar is dissolved. Boil until mixture reaches firm ball stage, 244 degrees, stirring often. Stir in the hot milk mixture slowly so that sugar mixture does not stop boiling. Cook and stir until candy reaches firm ball stage again. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and nuts. Pour into well-buttered 8-inch square pan.
