Ingredients

• 1 pinch salt
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup butter or margarine
• 1 pound light brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla.

Step 2

Meanwhile, butter a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 3

When the caramel is ready, pour it into the buttered pan. Allow it to cool completely at room temperature.

Step 4

Remove from the pan and cut into squares using scissors. Wrap individual pieces in waxed paper or cellophane.

Step 5

Gather all ingredients.

Step 6

Combine butter, brown sugar, condensed milk, corn syrup, and salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of the mixture dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface. Cook for 2 minutes at that temperature.
