How to Make Betty Crocker Caramels

  1. Grease an 8x8x2 inch or 9x9x2 inch square baking dish with butter.
  2. In a heavy 3-quart saucepan, combine all ingredients. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a boil.
  3. Continue cooking for approximately 35 minutes, stirring frequently. Use a candy thermometer to ensure the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (approximately 235°F). For chewier caramels, cook until the mixture reaches the firm-ball stage (approximately 245°F).
  4. Immediately pour the caramel mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  5. Allow the caramels to cool completely, approximately 2 hours.
  6. Once cooled, cut the caramels into 64 (8x8) squares using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife.
  7. Wrap each caramel individually in waxed paper or plastic wrap.
  8. Store the wrapped caramels in an airtight container at room temperature.
