EASY HOMEMADE CARAMELS
Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • coarse sea salt to sprinkle on top (optional if you wanted to do salted caramel)

Instructions

  1. Spray an 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray then line with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Add first 7 ingredients to a large microwave safe bowl. Mix to combine.
  3. Microwave for 6 minutes.
  4. Carefully remove from microwave using hot pads and stir.
  5. Dip a spoon in caramel, then dip into a glass of ice water. Use fingers to make a ball with the caramel on spoon. If it doesn't hold, continue to microwave in 30 second increments.
  6. Using hot pads or gloves carefully pour caramel mixture in prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired then let cool.
  7. Once cool, cut into square. Wrap in wax paper if desired.
  8. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

I usually go 6:30- 7 minutes.

To cool, I pop mine in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before I slice and wrap in wax paper.
