Boil a syrup of the sugar, water and Karo; stop as or before it

"disintegrate," then the nuts. Wet a dish towel in cold water. Spoon
the candy along the middle of the towel in piles. Fold towel over;
roll it, pressing firmly constantly. Leave to cool and harden. Slice
approximately 1/4-inch pieces. Might want to roll slices in coconut,
chopped nuts, etc. (Mom never did, tho'.) From Gemini's MASSIVE
