Bring karo, sugar, butter to boil; add whipping cream slowly; do not allow the boiling to stop; stir constantly. Boil to hard ball stage (242°F at sea level -- calibrate your candy thermometer!)

Add nuts and vanilla; do not beat. Pour into buttered pan and when cool, cut into 1-inch squares and wrap each in wax paper and then in colored Christmas paper to cheer them up.



Note:  Definitely NOT diet delights!
