2. Bring mixture to boil then reduce heat and simmer candy until temperature reaches 275 degrees.
3. Remove saucepan from heat and when bubbling stops add evaporated milk.
4. Beat candy with an electric mixer in the pan for about 30 seconds.
5. Add vanilla then continue to beat candy until it begins to firm up and you can no longer beat it.
