AUNT BILL'S BROWN CANDY
Bon Apetit magazine's columnist Molly Wizenberg shares her holiday baking ritual: the old-timey Aunt Bill's Brown Candy, a cross between praline and fudge from her homestate of Oklahoma. This soft, nutty, and somewhat crumbly southern delight is the ideal holiday treat.

Steps:
- Butter 8x8x2-inch metal baking pan. Combine 2 cups sugar and half and half in heavy large saucepan. Stir occasionally over low heat until sugar dissolves. Set aside.
- Bring remaining 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water to boil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Increase heat; continue boiling without stirring until syrup turns deep amber, brushing sides of pan with wet brush and swirling pan, about 8 minutes.
- Immediately pour caramel syrup into half and half mixture in large saucepan (mixture will bubble). Stir constantly over medium-low heat until caramel dissolves. Attach candy thermometer to side of pan. Increase heat to medium. Continue cooking and stirring until mixture registers 244°F, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat and immediately stir in baking soda (mixture will foam slightly). Add butter and stir to melt. Let stand without stirring until mixture cools to 160°F, about 20 minutes. Mix in vanilla.
- Using large wooden spoon, stir constantly until candy begins to thicken and loses its gloss, 4 to 5 minutes. Mix in nuts (candy will be very stiff). Scrape candy into prepared pan. Using wet fingertips, press candy firmly into pan. Cool completely, then cut into 30 squares.

My Mom, sisters and I would not feel like it was Christmas unless we had made this delicious candy. It tastes somewhere between fudge and caramels. It's best to use a wooden spoon to stir this candy with.

Steps:
- Butter a 9x13 inch pan and set aside.
- Place the 2 cups sugar in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar has completely melted.
- Meanwhile, in a large heavy saucepan combine the 4 cups sugar and heavy cream. Stir and heat over low.
- Once the 2 cups of sugar has completely melted, pour it in a fine stream into the sugar/cream mixture while stirring vigorously. Raise heat to medium low and cook, stirring frequently, until it reaches 244 to 248 degrees F (118 to 120 degrees C) on a candy thermometer.
- Remove from heat and vigorously stir in the baking soda. Stir in the butter until melted. Set aside to cool for 20 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and beat with a wooden spoon until non-glossy and it starts to set up. Stir in the nuts and spread into the prepared pan. Cool and cut into bite-size pieces.

AUNT BILL'S BROWN CANDY
A lot of people may know this under another name. For 50 years, since 1957-or 58, this candy has been Aunt Bill's Brown Candy. My ex-mother in law told me she remembered her mother making this as a girl. Made only at Thanksgiving and Christmas,was a very special treat. I am positive no one wants to know the frustration I went...

Steps:
- 1. Put 1 pint of sugar into heavy, cast iron skillet, place over low heat and stir with "wooden spoon" until sugar is melted and light to medium brown in color. Keep stirring and do not hurry melting process.
- 2. When you have sugar starting to melt, put the other 2 pints of sugar and 1 pint of cream in deep kettle, set over low heat and start cooking slowly, while sugar in skillet is melting. Bring cream and sugar mixture to low-medium sustained boil.
- 3. When sugar in skillet is melted, pour in thin stream "about size of knitting needle" into kettle with cream and sugar mixture, stirring constantly. Cook slowly, stirring often till a "firm," but not "hard" ball forms when dropped in water.
- 4. After this test is reached, set off heat, immediately add soda and stir till mixture foams. Add butter, stir till butter melts. Allow to set 10 minutes; then begin to beat with wooden spoon.(wooden spoon only).Keep beating till mixture starts to make a "snapping and popping sound" and starts to thicken.Dont wait too long to add pecans and vanilla, this can set up in a few seconds. Pour into buttered pans and cool.
- 5. DO NOT BEAT WITH ELECTRIC MIXER OR METAL SPOON!!!!! ! STIR WITH WOODEN SPOON ONLY!!!! This candy keeps very well in foil lined shoe or boot boxes with lids. Dont laugh, best way I found to keep the candy. Recipe written just as it was given to me 50 years ago. Hopefully it will become one of your favorites.
AUNT BILL'S BROWN CANDY
Very rich candy, but it's a great keeper. Can be a family candy-making event! You many need a helper to take turns with beating.

Steps:
- Butter a 9x13 inch dish and a medium, heavy saucepan.
- In the buttered saucepan, combine 4 cups sugar and the cream. Have ready.
- In a large heavy skillet over medium heat, pour the remaining 2 cups sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar begins to melt. Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Continue to cook and stir the sugar in the skillet until it is completely melted and light brown. Pour the melted sugar very slowly, in a thin stream, into the lightly simmering cream, stirring constantly (This step may take five minutes, and works best if someone strong pours the melted sugar v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y.)
- Heat now, without stirring, to 242 to 248 degrees F (116 to 120 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a firm but pliable ball. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda (mixture will foam). Drop the butter into the foaming mixture and let rest without stirring 30 minutes.
- Stir in the vanilla with a wooden spoon and continue to stir vigorously until mixture loses its gloss, 10 to 15 minutes. Then fold in pecans and quickly turn candy into the prepared 9x13 inch dish. Let cool until just warm and cut in 1 inch pieces.
