Elaine's Butter Mints

3 cups sugar
1 cup Hot tap water
1/2 cup butter
2 Tbsp. light Karo syrup

Mix ingredients and cook with lid on for about 3 minutes.

DO NOT STIR ANYMORE

Boil to 252 degrees.
Pour onto buttered marble slab, play with it, folding over edges, until cool enough to pick up and pull. Pull until it looses its sheen.

Add scant oil for flavor when you pour it on the marble slab.

Cut and layer in tins. Let sit for a few days to soften.
