Combine butter, sugar, corn syrup, and 1 cup whipping cream

heat 2 to 3 minutes to wash down sugar crystals from sides
of pan. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until
candy thermometer registers 224 degrees. Stir in remaining
1 cup whipping cream. Continue to cook mixture over medium
heat to firm ball stage (248 degrees). Stir in vanilla.

5 hours. Cut into squares, and wrap individually in wax
paper. Yield: 2-3/4 pounds.
