Cómo preparar Easy Homemade Caramels
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Add 1 cup packed light brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir in 1/2 cup light corn syrup.
- Mix well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup evaporated milk, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- Continue stirring over medium heat until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (242°F on a candy thermometer). This will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
- Pour the caramel mixture into an 8x8 inch baking dish that has been lightly greased with butter.
- Allow the caramels to cool completely at room temperature for 4-6 hours, or refrigerate for faster setting.
- Once firm, cut into small squares and wrap individually in wax paper for easy serving and storage.
