Vanilla Caramels

Caramels are a tried-and-true favorite. If you’ve never made your own caramels, you are missing out! These incredible little treats area favourite of ours here at Vanilla Planet

Ingredients

2 Cups Granulated Sugar
1 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
1 Cup Dark Corn Syrup
1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream (35%)
1 Cup Milk (I use 2%)
1 Cup Butter
1 Tsp Kosher Salt
1 Bean Madagascar Vanilla Caviar
2 Tsp Madagascar Vanilla Extract

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1

Line a 9×9 pan with Non-stick aluminum foil or parchment. Lightly spray with oil so caramels are easy to remove. I love the non-stick aluminum foil for candy.

Step 2

In a heavy bottomed s/s pot, add first 7 ingredients and over medium heat bring to a boil, only stirring once in a while. Insert a candy thermometer into the mixture and bring to 242F (soft caramels) or 248F for firmer caramels.

Step 3

Quickly stir in the Vanilla caviar and extract, and pour into prepared pan before it starts to firm up, this happens fairly quickly don’t let it sit.

Step 4

After 20 min, lightly score with a sharp knife where you will want to cut them once they are cool. Once cool lightly oil a chefs knife and cut into small pieces. I wrap each piece in waxed paper. Enjoy! These are great additioins to gift boxes and trays of goodies.
