Directions

1. 1
   In a medium sauce pan combine all the ingredients and constantly stir over medium heat (approximately 10 minutes). You can tell when it is done when it starts to become very thick and if you tilt the pan to the side, the mixture will easily come away from the side of the pan. After mixture is fully cooked, then pour onto a flat plate and place in the refrigerator and wait until completely cooled. Once the sweet is cooled, slather butter on your hands and take a spoon and scoop up about 1 tsp of the sweet, roll it in the palm of your hands forming little balls. You can decorate the balls with sprinkles or colored sugar if you like.
