Day 20: Chewy, Creamy Caramels
By far my VERY FAVORITE candy! Caramels are just chewy and creamy and amazing. These are actually pretty easy to make. It’s a great beginning candy along with melting chocolate. Heat it to the correct stage& stir and it will come out.
Chewy, Creamy Caramels
Ingredients:
1 cup butter (not margarine)
2 ¼ cups brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Powder sugar for coating
Directions:
Grease a square pan (8×8 or 9×9) and set aside. In a heavy saucepan, melt butter. Stir in sugar and salt until well combined. Now combine corn syrup thoroughly. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk until it’s all combined. 
Turn onto medium heat and stir continually until the temperature reaches a firm ball or 245 degrees.
Immediately pour into the prepared pan and let cool. Once cooled cut into squares.
Coat the edges with the powdered sugar so they don’t stick to each other.
Enjoy! I store mine in an airtight container in the fridge until I do up goody bags.
