How to Make Best Ever Caramels
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, heavy cream, milk, and butter.
- Cook, stirring occasionally with a heatproof spatula, until the mixture reaches the firm-ball stage (245°F on a candy thermometer). Be careful not to burn the mixture.
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract.
- Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour the caramel mixture into the prepared pan and let it cool completely at room temperature (at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight).
- Once completely cool, carefully turn the caramel slab out onto a cutting board.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the caramel into small squares.
- Wrap individual caramels in waxed paper or parchment paper for gifting or storage.
