Measurments:
1 can condensed milk (14 oz)
1 cup butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup corn syrup
2 cups brown sugar
(PS: this makes a LOT) (approximately 3-5 cups of soft caramel)
Step By Step
-
Step 1
Add condensed milk, butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla to a large saucepan.
Set saucepan to medium-low heat
-
Step 2
Stir with a spatula until it reaches 240 degrees (use a candy thermometer)
YOU DO NOT NEED A CANDY THERMOMETER! I did not use one. Instead put cold water in a small bowl. Add little drops of the caramel into the bowl until the caramel shows to be a soft yet firm texture.
-
Step 3
Add a tablespoon of salt to your caramel (optional)
-
Step 4
Once your caramel is finished (should have been boiled over stove for around 10-12 minutes), put it in a glass bowl and cover bowl with plastic wrap.
-
Step 5
Let the caramel cool in fridge until you need to use it!
For storage, put in a plastic ziploc bag once it is cooled and leave it at room temperature or in fridge.
The caramel should be good for a couple months! (Recommend storing in fridge)
