Soft Caramel Candies
Delicious, chewy soft caramel candies that melt in your mouth!
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 cup butter cut into pieces
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to drape over the edges. Butter the parchment paper lightly.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, condensed milk, and salt. Stir over medium heat until butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Increase heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 245°F (firm-ball stage) on a candy thermometer.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the hot caramel into the prepared pan. Let it cool completely at room temperature.
- Once cooled, lift the caramel from the pan using the overhanging parchment paper. Cut into small squares or desired shapes.
- Wrap each candy square in wax paper to prevent them from sticking together.
