⅓ cup Nucoa or Mazola margarine
½ cup Karo light corn syrup
1 pound confectioners sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix together margarine, corn syrup and 2 cups sugar in 3-quart
saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture
comes to full boil. Stir in remaining sugar and vanilla. Remove from
heat; stir until mixture holds shape. Pour into greased baking pan.
Cool just enough to handle. Knead with lightly greased hands until
smooth. (If candy hardens too much before kneading, work with spoon,
then knead.) Knead in any desired flavoring and coloring. Shape into
small patties, balls or use as filling for nuts, dates or apricots.
Makes about 1⅓ pounds.
