Delicious Caramel Candies

I love anything caramel. It's delicious on its own or pairs well with chocolate or anything salty.

I think these caramels can be for any occasion but it's the perfect treat for the holidays right? You probably have everything in your pantry to make this recipe too. It was easy to make and a fun little DIY you can have the kids help with. A candy thermometer comes in handy for this recipe. 

 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Stir butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and sweetened condensed milk together in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. 

Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and reduce heat to medium. 

Cook until a candy thermometer reads 248 degrees F (120 degrees C), 25 to 30 minutes; stir constantly to preventburning. 

A teaspoon of the syrup, dropped in a glass of cold water, should form a firm ball. 

Remove caramel from heat and stir in vanilla extract. 

Pour hot caramel onto parchment paper.

Let caramel cool on the parchment paper for a few minutes until you can touch it with your hands to form little candies. 

Use caution, caramel can be very hot. When you have formed the candies then you can wrap each caramel in the liners and twist the ends closed. Storage: Wrapped caramels will keep at room temperature for about 2 weeks and a little longer if kept in the refrigerator.

All you need is -

1 cup butter

2 cups packed brown sugar

1 cup light corn syrup

1 can sweetened condensed milk

2 tsp vanilla extract
paper cupcake liners or wax paper
candy thermometer
