My family used to make this treat every year during the holidays. I remember Dad "pulling" the candy until he had blisters on his hands. OH! but it was so good!
Here is a link about cream pull candy.
Make a batch. It is worth the effort.
CREAM PULL CANDY
3 cups sugar
3/4 stick butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup boiling water
Combine in large, heavy saucepan:
3 cups sugar
1 cup boiling water
Cook over low heat to soft ball stage (234?F).
While mixture is cooking, heat to the boiling point:
1/2 tsp. baking soda
3/4 stick butter
Combine mixtures and cook to hard ball stage (258?F). Remove from heat. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla. Pour out onto a well-buttered marble slab.
Begin to pull as soon as candy is cool enough to work with hands. Pull until candy begins to turn creamy and hardens.
Stretch into long, thin rope and cut with scissors sprayed with non-stick spray or brushed with vegetable or mineral oil.
Makes about 1 1/4 pounds.
