    PRINTABLE RECIPE: 🖨️ thestayathomechef.com/caramels/ 🖨️
    🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴
    ✅Ingredients
    • 1 cup unsalted butter
    • 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
    • 1 cup corn syrup
    • 2 cups brown sugar
    • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    ✅Instructions
    1️⃣ Butter a 9x13 pan well to coat. Set aside
    2️⃣ Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, pour in sweetened condensed milk, corn syrup, and brown sugar.
    3️⃣ Use a rubber spatula to stir the mixture constantly over medium heat until it starts to simmer, scraping the sides and bottom regularly.
    4️⃣ Once simmering, continue at a constant simmer, stirring constantly until caramel reaches the softball stage of 235 and 245 F, with higher elevations using the lower temperature range, and lower elevations using the upper end of the range.
    5️⃣ At the soft-ball stage, immediately remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt. Pour caramel into the prepared 9x13 pan.
    6️⃣ Let cool completely before cutting into squares. Wrap in pieces of wax paper for individual servings if desired.

    The reason that your temperature stalls out around 220 F, is because there is water in your caramel, and that needs to boil out first before your candy is ready.

      Yup. When I make candy, I know the water’s gone went the temp shoots up.

    First time I've ever made caramels and they came out perfect. The temp did stall at about 230 for a few minutes and I took them off at about 238. Chilled overnight and they were amazing!

  • @tennesseesdaughter315

    I made these for Xmas and my family *LOVED THEM* 😋 . I will say this... if you don’t have a candy thermometer; be sure to simmer it for 25-35mins. I simmered mine for 25mins, but it was shy of the perfect texture... a little too soft. Hope this advice helps!! 🍬🍬🍬

      I used a meat thermometer and it worked just as well for me. Very inexpensive. Got mine at my local Kroger for about 20 dollars I think

    I found it worked well to dump the whole sheet onto a cutting board and cut the Carmel with a pizza cutter.

  • @brettwelshans5084
    @brettwelshans5084 Год назад +3

    I use white sugar and heated mine to 240° on low heat. They were very soft but not sticky and otherwise came out perfect. This was my first time making caramel and it was a success. Thank you!

    My daughter makes caramels every year at Christmas time from a recipe I got from my sister-in-law, but I've never had the courage to try making them myself. This might push me over the edge, because now my mouth is watering! And I really like being able to make and use invert sugar instead of corn syrup! Thanks!

    I have tried 3 different Carmel recipes and this one IS the best. I only used one stick of butter though. I didn't want that many calories in my Carmel. The candy came out amazing. I do suggest lining the pan either with parchment or waxed paper. After I cut the candy I did wrap small pieces in waxed paper. I placed candy in Ziploc bags and I'm storing them n the freezer. I might even dip some in chocolate because I like that combination. Maybe use peanut butter and chocolate? I like coconut and Carmel really good.

    I wish I could hug you and your grandma! Haha...my family has gone BONKERS for this. I do prefer to cook mine a bit further because I like it firmer and I find it also does not stick so much to the wrappers. I doubled the vanilla also. (My homemade vanilla!)
    We like to eat apples and along wth the apples we have a "log" of caramel. Haha seriously I am not kidding. My brother said holy cow..."this is the best stuff I've ever eaten.) I have found that doing it the old fashion way works best for me. Although I use my digital thermometer to get an idea of exactly how hot it's getting when it feels the way I like it. Thank you for sharing your family's recipe!!!

    • @Isabella66Gracen
      @Isabella66Gracen 3 года назад +1

      Agave syrup is better than honey, honey isn't consistent batch to batch. It can still crystallize. I think its possible glucose syrup could work, but true invert sugar is a mix of glucose and fructose.
