Ingredients
1 cup butter2 1/2 cups brown sugardash of salt1 cup corn syrup1 can sweetened condensed milk (14-ounces)2 tablespoon vanilla extract
Butter or spray an 9x13-inch baking dish. If you want to add nuts, scatter pecans in the buttered pan.
Melt butter, sugar and salt on low to medium heat. Stirring constantly. Gradually add and whisk the 1 cup of corn syrup in slowly. Bring to a boil, add sweetened condensed milk a little at a time. Bring to a boil again.
Keep stirring mixture constantly on medium to low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on how hard you want the caramels to be.
When the mixture is done, take off the burned and quickly add the vanilla extract.
Pour into buttered 9x13-inch pan, over the pecans if using. Let completely cool before serving.
Cut into 1x1-inch pieces
Ideas for using:
1.) caramel apples, need to boil for 20 minutes
2.) caramel for dipping apple slices: Put caramel (cooked and stirred for 20 minutes) in bowl and let it almost cool. Then add 1 snack pack vanilla pudding. Whisk it in quickly and then caramel won't harden.
Note: original recipes says to put it in an 8x8 or 9x9-inch pan.
To remove from pan. Set pan is hot water to loosen to make removal from pan easier
I substituted rum for the vanilla.
