ingredients
1 1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
directions
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, butter, evaporated milk, cream of tartar and salt. Mix well and bring to a boil. Cook to the soft ball stage at 234 degrees F. A few drops will form a soft ball when dropped into cold water.
Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Add vanilla and beat until creamy and stiff. Roll into balls and shape like little potatoes.
Roll each ball in cinnamon to coat, then press in pieces of chopped nuts to look like eyes. You can also dust with cocoa to simulate dirt.

Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

I am originally from Philly, and this recipe is the closest thing I've found to what I remember there. Only problem-- I don't use a candy thermometer, and sometimes it never gets to the "creamy and stiff" phase. Am I not heating enough? Still tastes great, just not pretty enough to give away! Any help is appreciated.
