These caramels are easy and WONDERFUL for anytime of the year! Everyone loves them! I can't make enough of them. You can omit the chocolate and just have wonderful caramels. Ingredients:
caramels |
1 cup butter |
2 1/4 cups brown sugar |
1 cup light corn syrup |
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
chocolate |
1 pound milk chocolate |
1 tablespoon butter |
Directions:
1. Grease an 8 x 8 inch square pan.
2. In a heavy 4 quart saucepan melt butter over medium heat; add brown sugar, corn syrup and milk. Stirring constantly, heat to 242 to 248 degrees F (116 to 120 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a firm but pliable ball. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Pour into prepared pan.
3. When caramel has cooled and set, cut into 1 inch squares. Chill in refrigerator until firm.
4. Melt chocolate with 1 tablespoon butter in the top of a double boiler or in a bowl in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
5. Dip caramel squares in chocolate and place on wax paper to cool.
