Grandma Rose's Caramels

Kenz and I made a batch yesterday and they were as good as I remembered them. Grandma made them at Christmas time.

1 lb light brown sugar
1/2 lb. butter (2 cubes)
1 cup light Karo syrup
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 can Eagle Brand Milk
1 cup nuts (add when done)

Put in pan & boil 15 minutes. Stir while cooking. Add nuts and pour on large greased cookie sheet. Cool. Then cut with scissors, dip in chocolate or wrap in wax paper.
