Until recently, I had never heard of Oklahoma Nut Candy. The name alone was enough to grab my attention and after a little research I learned this candy has quite the history! It was first published in 1936 in the food column of The Daily Oklahoman where it was called Aunt Bill\u2019s Brown Candy. From there it seems to have made the rounds throughout the nation. People know a good Christmas treat when they taste it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The instructions varied a bit throughout the years, but the ingredients have stayed largely the same. Mainly, a whole lot of sugar. If you take a peak at the ingredient list you\u2019ll see that this recipe calls for a hefty six cups of sugar. Yup, you read that right. From there you\u2019ll find other baking staples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        How To Make Oklahoma Nut Candy<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Grease a 9\u00d713 baking dish and set aside.
        In a small saucepan (with a heavy bottom if you have it!), pour in 2 cups of sugar and cook over low heat while stirring often. Cook until sugar is completely melted, about 20 minutes.
        As sugar cooks down, add the 4 cups of remaining sugar and heavy cream to a large saucepan (or dutch oven, you want a big pot here!). Simmer over low heat until the sugar in your small saucepan has melted. Add melted sugar to a large saucepan with continuously stirring.
        Bring the heat up to medium and cook mixture until 244 degrees F or softball stage.
        Remove from heat and stir in baking soda until completely combined.
        Add butter and vanilla. Stir until butter has melted and the mixture is smooth.
        Let rest for 20 minutes.
        After the mixture has rested, stir in nuts and mix until the sheen has gone. Transfer to prepared baking dish.
        Let cool 1-2 hours or overnight. Cut into small squares to serve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
