BEST HOMEMADE CARAMELS RECIPE

Ingredients

  • 2 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 pint 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a medium size pot, combine everything except the vanilla.
  • Monitor the heat of the mixture with a candy thermometer while stirring occasionally.
  • When the thermometer reaches 245 degrees {240 degrees is also called soft ball stage, I like to cook mine to 245 degrees}, remove pot from heat.
  • Stir in vanilla.
  • Transfer mixture to a greased 12×15 pan and let the mixture cool completely.
  • When cooled cut the caramel into small squares and wrap them in wax paper for storage.

Notes

High Elevation: Cook caramel to 10 degrees less!! If you live above 4,000 feet, you’ll need to cook it to just 235 degrees F for it to be the perfect consistency.
