Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt (optional)

Instruction

  • In a microwave-safe, deep bowl, melt the butter.
  • Stir in the corn syrup, brown sugar, and granulated sugar and continue microwaving on full power for 1-2 minutes (until boiling).
  • Whisk the sweetened condensed milk into the boiling sugar mixture.
  • Cook for 3 1⁄2 minutes longer, whisk, and cook for another 3-4 minutes. The temperature of the caramel should reach 240-248°F for a thick, chewy caramel.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, if desired.
  • Butter a jelly roll pan or half sheet pan (or a 9x13 casserole dish) or line with parchment paper.
  • Pour the cooked caramel mixture into the pan. Allow caramel to cool completely (1-2 hours).
  • Use a butter knife to slice the caramel into rectangular (or square) pieces and wrap in squares of parchment paper.
