Instructions

1In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the boiling water and butter. Add the vanilla bean piece, if using.
2Boil the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches the hard-crack stage (300-310°F or 149-154°C). To test, drop a small amount into a bowl of cold water. It should form hard, brittle threads.
3Pour the hot candy mixture into a well-buttered pan. Let it cool slightly.
4While still slightly warm, mark the candy into squares with a sharp-pointed knife. Let cool completely before breaking into pieces.
