Brown Sugar Caramels

Brown Sugar Caramels

Ingredients-

1 cup butter

2 1/4 cups brown sugar

dash of salt

1 cup light corn syrup

1-14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

1 tsp vanilla

Directions-

In a heavy 3 quart saucepan melt butter. Add brown sugar and salt and stir thoroughly. Stir in corn syrup and mix well. Gradually add sweetened condensed milk stirring constantly. Cook and stir over medium heat until your candy thermometer reaches 237 degrees which is the soft ball stage. Be sure that your candy thermometer that is clipped to the side of your pan does not touch the bottom of the pan. Once your caramel has reached 237 degrees remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour caramels into a buttered 9x13 pan. Once cooled cut up caramels and wrap in squares of wax paper.
