Time 2h25m

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup butter
2 ¼ cups brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pound milk chocolate
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Grease an 8 x 8 inch square pan.
  • In a heavy 4 quart saucepan melt butter over medium heat; add brown sugar, corn syrup and milk. Stirring constantly, heat to 242 to 248 degrees F (116 to 120 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a firm but pliable ball. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Pour into prepared pan.
  • When caramel has cooled and set, cut into 1 inch squares. Chill in refrigerator until firm.
  • Melt chocolate with 1 tablespoon butter in the top of a double boiler or in a bowl in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
  • Dip caramel squares in chocolate and place on wax paper to cool.

I sprinkled some sea salt on top of the chocolate before it set. It added a nice touch of flavor and crunch.

I used dark chocolate to coat the caramels. It gave them a really rich flavor.

I added a little bit of salt to the caramel to give it a salted caramel flavor. It was delicious!

The recipe says to use a candy thermometer to reach the right temperature for the caramel. I don't have one, so I just used a regular thermometer. It worked fine, but I had to be careful not to overcook the caramel.

These caramels are so rich and decadent. They're perfect for a special occasion. I made them for my husband's birthday and he loved them.

I've never made caramels before, but this recipe made it so easy. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I was so happy with the results!

The first time I made these, I overcooked the caramel a bit. But the second time I made them, they were perfect. The key is to cook the caramel until it reaches the right temperature. It's a bit tricky, but it's worth it.

I've made these caramels several times now and they're always a hit. They're so easy to make and they're always delicious. I love that I can customize them with different flavors of chocolate and toppings.

OMG these caramels are amazing! The sweetness of the caramel pairs so well with the richness of the chocolate. I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfect. I'll definitely be making these again and again.
