How to make Creamy, Salted Caramels.

When I think back on my childhood these creamy Caramels have to be on the top of the list of my favorite things.

My mom would only make them around Christmas which made them seem extra special. The texture and flavor of this sweet and chewy caramel make it one of my favorite candies for sure.

The Ingredients

To make the caramel there are four main ingredients.

1. Sugar
2. Corn Syrup
3. Heavy Cream
4. Butter

How to make the Caramel

Melt butter, Add Sugar, Corn Syrup, and half the cream.

Bring to a boil. Add the rest of the cream. Boil and stir until the mixture reaches 245 degrees on a candy thermometer. The consistency should look brown and start pulling slightly from the sides of the pan.

After the temperature reaches 245 stir in 1 tsp. vanilla. Quickly pour caramel into a buttered aluminum cookie sheet or bar pan baking stone. Sprinkle with sea salt. Allow to cool and cut into squares. Wrap Caramels with wax paper, twisting the ends to secure them.
