Annette'S Mexican Glorias - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
2 c. white sugar
3 Tbsp. light corn syrup
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. goat milk or evaporated milk
4 Tbsp. cocoa
4 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. pure vanilla
1 1/2 c. chopped pecans (better if cold; helps to cool candy faster)

Preparation

In a heavy 3-quart saucepan, combine sugar, syrup, cocoa, cinnamon, salt, milk and butter.
Stir with wooden spoon.
Cook slowly over medium heat until candy reaches a soft ball stage (230\u00b0).
Remove from heat.
Let candy stand undisturbed a few minutes (about 2 minutes).
Then add flavoring and pecans.
Beat until creamy.
Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper (in small ball). If candy hardens too fast, add a few drops of milk and stir until smooth (creamy) and continue to drop onto wax paper.
Yields about 30 to 40 Glorias.
