1 c. molasses
1 tbsp. butter
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. sugar
1 tbsp. water

Melt butter in iron skillet. Add molasses, water and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Stir occasionally until nearly done. Then stir constantly. Boil until mixture forms a hard ball when dropped in cold water. Remove from fire, add soda, stir and pour into well greased pan. When cool enough to handle, pull until light and porous. When it begins to harden, stretch to desired thickness and cut into small pieces.
