How to Make Hajar's Chewy Melty Caramels

Generously butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, 1 cup heavy cream, and ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Once boiling, stir in the remaining 1 cup heavy cream.
Continue cooking, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 242°F (117°C) on a candy thermometer. This indicates the soft-ball stage; a small amount dropped into ice water will form a firm but pliable ball.
Remove from heat immediately. Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
Pour the caramel mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set and firm.
Once cool, let the caramels return to room temperature before cutting into approximately 1-inch squares. Wrap individually in waxed paper for easy gifting and storage.
