halves Butter the sides of a heavy 3-qt saucepan. In this prepared
saucepan, combine sugar, milk, light cream, corn syrup, coffee powder, and
salt. Bring to boiling, stirring constantly. Cook, without stirring, to
soft-ball stage (236~), about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Add
butter or margarine, vanilla, and rum flavoring. Do not stir. Cool in
saucepan to lukewarm (110~). Beat vigorously with wooden spoon till candy
begins to hold its shape and lose its glossy appearance, about 10 minutes.
Turn candy mixture into buttered 8x8x2″ dish. With a small knife, score the
surface in squares; top each square with a walnut half. Cover candy with
clear plastic wrap; chill thoroughly. Cut through candy completely along
scored lines to serve. Makes about 1 1/2 pounds.
