- Put all the ingredients except the vanilla extract in a pan, dissolve the sugar and slowly heat to 124oC(225oF) (hard ball stage), stirring occasionally.
- Add a little vanilla extract, stir and pour the mixture into the tin.
- Mark with a knife and break into squares when cold.
- Wrap individually, in waxed paper if possible.
