Steps:
- In a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk, corn syrup and salt. 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 syrup 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. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla.
- Meanwhile, butter a 9x13 inch baking pan. When the caramel is ready, pour into the buttered pan. Allow to cool completely at room temperature. Remove from the pan and cut into squares using scissors. Wrap individual pieces in waxed paper or cellophane.

REDUCED FAT CARAMELS
I found this recipe here but changed to nonfat milk. Since reduced fat margarines don't make that big a difference in fat content and butter is so important for flavor, I left the butter as is. This is an experimental work for me. The original author did not specify the size of the pan, so I'm guessing a 13x9 for small cubes of caramel.

Steps:
- In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, syrup and 1 cup milk.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves.
- Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 246-248 degrees on a candy thermometer or makes a firm ball when a dropped into cool water.
- Slowly add second cup of milk and continue to cook to firm ball stage.
- Slowly add third cup of milk, butter and salt.
- Cook to firm ball stage and remove from heat.
- Immediately pour into buttered pan.
- Let cool completely before cutting to pieces with a sharp, wet knife.
Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching.
- Stir the caramel constantly to prevent it from crystallizing.
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure the caramel reaches the correct temperature.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the caramel by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the caramel forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- To make the caramels extra smooth, strain them through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring them into the molds.
- For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of white sugar.
- To make the caramels even more decadent, add a little bit of butter or cream.
- For a fun twist, try adding different flavors to the caramels, such as vanilla, chocolate, or coffee.
