Caramel

I started making these Caramel treats two years ago when my mom asked me to bring them to family Christmas. I looked at several recipes and didn’t fall in love with any of them so I combined what I liked and changed what I didn’t to create this super easy recipe.

When everyone at Christmas loved the caramels I made, I knew I needed to sell them. I have edited this recipe to include all of my tips on being consistent and time efficient.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. With my tips and tricks you will be able to share these amazing caramels with friends, family, and coworkers in a short amount of time.

  1. In your 6 quart stock pot add the butter, corn syrup, and evaporated milk. Stir
  2. Once your butter is mostly melted, add sugar. Stir Frequently until you reach 242′ F.
  3. When your thermometer is showing 242 consistently, turn off heat. Add vanilla, stir. Pour Mixture over your silicone mold. (I put my mold in a sheet pan for stability)

  5. Pop caramels out of molds one by one wrapping them in the wrappers as you go.

Notes

I like to attach my thermometer to my pot before adding ingredients. I also prep my silicone mold in my sheet tray before I start. Be sure to place your sheet tray over a heat resistant surface.
