2 cups molasses
2 cups brown sugar
1/3 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
a pinch of salt

Cooks Note: If you haven't much experience in making candy, a candy thermometer will be very helpful in avoiding failures.

In a heavy bottom pan, boil ingredients until it reaches hard crack stage on a candy thermometer (or until a few drops in cold water are brittle and will crack).

Pour mixture into a hot, buttered pan. When cool enough to handle, pull the mixture in long strands, fold and pull, fold and pull until it turns a whitish color and is opaque.

Roll into a log shape and snip into 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch long pieces. Wrap in up each little log shape in a 2 1/4 inch long strip of wax paper; twist each end in different directions.

Store in an airtight container.

CAUTION: This candy should be prepared under ADULT supervision only; CANDY MIXTURE IS VERY HOT AND WILL CAUSE SEVERE BURNS! Please be very careful.
