Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 48 servings

  • ¾ cup light molasses

  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream

  • ¾ cup white sugar

  • 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder

  • ¼ cup chopped almonds, or to taste (Optional)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Mix molasses, cream, sugar, and cocoa powder together in a pot; bring to a boil. Heat to 251 degrees F (122degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a firm but pliable ball, 30 to 40 minutes.
