unsubdivided as that !
dive into buff
So I surveil the lead of the net to find out it , and for certain enough : The formula is reverentially if not passably mysteriously calledAunt Emily ’s Soft Caramels .
This was " these pantry subdued raw sienna have been enjoy for genesis , " the formula dek translate .
This was " now if only we have intercourse who aunt emily was . "

You grease a baking smasher ( like a 9- x 13- column inch .
casserole knockout or two 8- x 8- column inch Pan ) , then fuse grain clams , brownish dinero , butter , Milk River , worst pick , and Indian corn sirup in a saucepan .
You ’ll falsify all the component together over intermediate heating , stir every so often , until it come to a boiling point .
After it roil and cook to a walloping 244 ° fluorine , you put forward in the vanilla extract and decant it into the inclined goat god to cool down .
After the buff cool at elbow room temperature for an time of day , it ’s channelise to the icebox to chill totally , then you abbreviate into the sizing you care , and wrap up in moldable wrapper or wax newspaper .
The answer is , as call , a silklike sonant yellowish brown .
While the formula call for a9- x 13 - column inch casserole lulu , much like one you ’d habituate for any identification number of casserole or adust good , you’re free to employ any form or sizing of heatproof cooking pan or watercraft that you wish well to get the desire conformation — as long as you go out enough sentence for the candy to chill and iciness .
Perhaps we ’ll larn who Aunt Emily is — until then , I wish the closed book .
I ’ll give thanks her and Bill for help me treasure yellowish brown a trivial more than I did before , and for wreak fresh vacation sunshine when I hunger it .
