Mexican Nut Candy

Directions

1. 1
   Stir both of the sugars, milk and margarine together in a large pan.
2. 2
   Cook over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture forms a soft ball when a little bit of it is dropped into a glass of cold water.
3. 3
   (It is too soft if the mixture covers the bottom of the glass; it should hold together loosely.)
4. 4
   Add the vanilla and salt; cook about 1 minute longer.
5. 5
   Remove from heat and add nuts.
6. 6
   Beat with a spoon until candy starts to get very thick (a wooden spoon is best).
7. 7
   Drop by large spoonfuls onto wax paper. Let cool.
