THE BEST SOFT HOMEMADE CARAMELS

by

Ingredients

  • 4 Cups sugar
  • 1 Cup butter unsalted
  • 2 Cups white corn syrup one 16 oz. bottle
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Two 12 oz. cans evaporated milk

Instructions

  1. Line a 13X9 inch casserole dish with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Place sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. (The caramel will bubble up so make sure it’s a large pan, I like to use my enamel cast iron)
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then slowly add evaporated milk a little at a time. Take about 10-12 minutes per can. Stir constantly.
  4. After the evaporated milk is added, continue to stir until the mixture has reached 238 F, no hotter! Use your candy thermometer.
  5. Pour into your prepared dish and let cool completely. Cut (see my tips above in the post) and enjoy!
