This is now the only candy I make for the holidays. All others seem to be pale in comparison.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 2-1/4 cups brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1-1/2 tsp vanilla
- 4" squares waxed paper
- buttered 9" square pan
Servings: pieces
Instructions
- In a heavy 3 quart sauce pan, melt butter. Add sugar and mix until well blended. Stir in corn syrup; cook until sugar has dissolved; remove pan from heat. Stir in sweetened condensed milk' cook over medium heat, stirring gently and constantly until mixture reaches the soft ball stage (240°) on a candy thermometer, about 20- 30 minutes. Add vanilla.
- Pour hot mixture into buttered pan. Cool. Use a spatula to remove from pan. Cut into 36 caramel; wrap individually.
Recipe Notes
I think you can now buy decorative candy wrappers either on line or in specialty kitchen shops. I happen to love the waxed paper approach...so authentically homemade.
