2 c Sugar
1 c Dairy eggnog
1 Light corn syrup
2 Butter
1 Vanilla, brandy, or rum
-flavoring
1/2 c Nuts; chopped, optional
In a 2-quart bowl or casserole, mix sugar, eggnog, and corn syrup. Cover
and microwave on HIGH 4 to 5 minutes, until boiling, stirring once or
twice.
Stir and cover again and microwave on MED (50%) power for 4 to 6 minutes,
until mixture reaches a soft-ball stage (235-240 degrees F.). Remove from
microwave and let cool to about 110 degrees F. Add butter and flavoring of
your choice. Beat until very thick. Add nuts and spread in a buttered
pan. When set, cut into squares.
Note: Length of time to cook on MED may vary with microwaves. I had to
cook mine longer than the four to six minutes, but a higher powered
microwave would take a shorter time. Just continue at MED for 2 to 3
minutes increments until you reach the soft-ball stage.
