Rich, creamy, smooth, soft...those are just a few reasons to love these old-fashioned caramels. Purchased caramels just can't compare.Sharon Struthers, Belgrade, Minnesota Ingredients:
1 teaspoon plus 1 cup butter, divided |
1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar |
1 cup sugar |
dash salt |
1 cup light corn syrup |
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Line a 9-in. square pan with foil; grease the foil with 1 teaspoon butter and set aside. In a large saucepan, combine the sugars, salt and remaining butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Stir in corn syrup; return to a boil. Remove from the heat; slowly stir in milk.
2. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until a candy thermometer reads 238° (soft-ball stage). Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Pour into prepared pan. Cool. Using foil, lift candy out of pan; cut into 1-in. squares. Wrap individually in waxed paper. Yield: 2-1/2 pounds.
