How to Make Vanilla Cream Filled Caramels Bull's Eye Copycat Gluten Free

  1. Prepare your caramel base: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Continue cooking the caramel: Without stirring, cook the mixture until it reaches 245°F (118°C) on a candy thermometer – a deep amber color. This is crucial for the perfect texture.
  3. Make the vanilla cream filling: In a separate bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and creamy.
  4. Cool the caramel slightly: Carefully pour the hot caramel into a heatproof bowl and let it cool slightly (about 10-15 minutes), stirring occasionally to prevent it from hardening too quickly.
  5. Assemble the caramels: Once the caramel is slightly cooled but still pliable, use a spoon to add a dollop of the vanilla cream filling to the center of each caramel. Gently fold the caramel around the filling, sealing it completely.
  6. Shape and cool: With slightly wet hands, roll each caramel into a ball. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them cool completely.
  7. Optional: Wrap your delicious gluten-free caramels in colorful cellophane for a beautiful presentation.
