Homemade Caramels: A Simple and Delicious Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pint heavy whipping cream
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup corn syrup
• 1 cup evaporated milk
• 1.25 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Grease a 12x15-inch pan thoroughly and set it aside. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of a medium-size pot, ensuring it doesn't touch the bottom.
2. Combine the whipping cream, white sugar, brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and evaporated milk in the prepared pot. Cook and stir the mixture continuously over medium heat until the temperature reaches 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Once it reaches the correct temperature, remove the pot from the heat.
3. Gently stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the caramel mixture evenly into the prepared pan and allow it to cool completely at room temperature.
4. Once the caramel has cooled and set, cut it into approximately 60 small, even squares.
5. Wrap each caramel square individually in waxed paper for easy storage and to prevent sticking.
