If you love caramel candies, this recipe will be like heaven to you! It is soft and wonderful. I use it to make homemade turtles candy, but you can use it to make anything you want. It is EXCELLENT!! Note: I like to use a metal spatula to stir with so it helps keep it from burning. Ingredients:
1 cup butter (sorry no substitute) |
2 1/4 cups brown sugar |
1 dash salt |
1 cup light corn syrup |
1 (15 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a heavy 3 quart sauce pan.
2. Add sugar and salt.
3. Stir thoroughly.
4. Now stir in corn syrup.
5. Mix well.
6. Add sweetened condensed milk, stirring constantly.
7. Cook and stir over medium heat and heat to firm ball stage (245 degrees), about 12 to 15 minutes.
8. Remove from heat and add the vanilla.
9. Pour into a 9x9x2 buttered pan; cool, cut into squares (or make turtles by arranging two pecan halves on a buttered sheet of waxed paper and spooning a little caramel on top of the pecans, let cool, then spooning a little melted milk chocolate on top).
10. Enjoy when cooled.
