Caramels

INGREDIENTS
1 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup light Karo syrup
1/2 cup butter
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla

DIRECTIONS
Combine sugars, syrup, butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a boil and slowly add sweetened condensed milk; constantly stirring. Bring to a soft ball stage. Take pan off heat and add vanilla. Pour into a buttered 9 x 13 glass baking dish. Cool and cut. Can top with coarse sea salt or pecans.

*Keep heat on a low boil. Cooking too fast will not allow caramels to set up correctly. Also, everyones candy thermometers and elevations where you live are different. It really can have an affect on how your candy will turn out. You can test by dropping some of the caramel into a glass of cold water to see how it is setting up. If you candy is still too runny, keep cooking while watching the temperature gauge.
