Ingredients

2 cups sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup butter
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

PREP

1.5 hrs

COOK

3 hrs

READY IN

5 hrs

In a saucepan, combine all the ingredients except for the vanilla.
Cook over low heat, STIRRING CONSTANTLY, until sugar is all dissolved.
Continue to cook on low until the mixture gets to the hard ball stage (256 degrees F. works well); stir frequently. It will take 2 - 3 hours for the temperature to reach this point.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
Pour into a well-greased 10" x 15" x 1" baking sheet. Allow the caramel mixture to cool slightly; and then flip over turn out onto a greased work surface where you can cut the caramels.
Allow the caramel mixture to cool until it is a handling temperature. Once the caramels can be handled, start cutting them to the desired size.
Once the caramels are completely cooled, the excess grease can be wiped off with a paper towel and the caramels can be wrapped in plastic wrap pieces.

"I am so happy to find this recipe. I thought I had lost it. I made these caramels last year and want to make them again for Christmas. They are scrumptious. My family loved them."
