Caramels

Ingredients:

1 cup butter

1 cup light Karo syrup

14 ounces sweetened condensed milk

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

dash of salt

Directions:

Put all ingredients in a medium sauce pan and bring to a rolling boil. Once boiling, turn to medium heat and keep mixture boiling until a soft ball will form in water (about 240 degrees on a candy thermometer). Pour caramel mix into a WELL buttered 9x13 pan. Cool caramels overnight.

Once cool, dump caramel onto a wax paper. Use a rolling pin to make the caramels more flat. Cut pieces into the size you want and wrap in wax paper.

Tips: Use a wooden spoon to stir while boiling the mixture. Use a metal pan 9x13 pan for cooling the caramels. Loosen the edges of the caramels with a knife before dumping them out. If you need to use a metal spatula to scrape the caramels out as you dump them.

Difficulty: Medium

Time to Make: 30 minutes prep, cooling overnight, 15 minutes cutting and wrapping
