Caramel Candy
These chewy, rich caramels will keep you coming back for more. The hard part will be not eating them all as you wrap them in their wrappers.
Ingredients
- 2 cups karo syrup
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 6 cups heavy whipping cream
- 7 oz sweetened condensed milk half a 14 oz can
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Plug in a large (10 quart) kettle and put to 200 degrees or place a large pot on a stove top over medium heat
- Pour karo syrup & sugar into the pot or kettle, stir over heat until the sugar is melted
- Once sugar is melted, put cream & condensed milk in a double broiler. I use a glass bowl placed over a small sauce pan of simmering water. Warm up the cream mixture for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, turn heat up to 250 degrees on the kettle. Put 1/2 cup of cream mixture into the sugar mixture and stir. Let it simmer for 5 minutes before adding another 1/2 cup of cream to the sugar mixture. Repeat until all the cream is added.
- Once all the cream is added, put in a candy thermometer and cook until soft ball stage (234 degrees)
- Take off heat immediately & stir in the vanilla
- Pour out onto a lined cookie sheet or Candy Pan
- Let cool completely before slicing (8 hours)
