Combine first 6 ingredients in saucepan. Cook about 20 minutes on medium heat until it comes to a boil. Boil, stirring occasionally until mixture comes to a hard boil.

Remove from heat; add vanilla and stir until mixture begins to lose it's gloss.

Drop small portions onto waxed paper, working very fast. Keep saucepan over a low fire if it seems to harden too fast.

Hint: Putting aluminum foil under wax paper will keep it from sticking to counter top.
