1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup butter real
2 cups half and half
2/3 cup light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup walnuts chopped

Blend together flour and butter set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, stir together 1 cup half-and-half, corn syrup, sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, just to the boiling point. Keeping mixture at a boil, stir in remaining 1 cup half-and-half. Cook to 234° on candy thermometer (soft ball). Add flour mixture and continue to cook, stirring constantly, to 242° (firm ball). Remove from heat add vanilla and walnuts. Pour into a buttered 8 x 8-inch baking dish. Cut into squares when cool.

For High Altitude: For every 500 feet elevation above sea level, decrease end cooking point by 1 degree. For example, at 6000 feet decrease the end cooking point by 12 degrees hence your thermometer would read 222° and 230°.
