- 1
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 can evaporated milk
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract | Try this recipe for homemade vanilla extract
- 1/2 Tbsp. coarse sea salt
- Oil or cooking spray
Preparation
Step 1
These caramels come together quickly, requiring just seven common ingredients. The soft chews, however, are far from standard—a dash of sea salt makes them all grown-up.
Servings: Makes about 125 one-inch pieces
Directions
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring sugar, evaporated milk, and heavy cream to a boil over medium heat. Add corn syrup and continue cooking until mixture reaches 230°.
Add butter and vanilla; continue cooking, stirring constantly, until caramel reaches 240°. Remove from heat, stir in salt, and carefully pour into a lightly oiled 9" x 13" baking dish (parchment paper in the bottom of the pan is helpful).
