Tis the season for caramel around our house. This is my daughter's favorite candy, so she is always eager to try out a new recipe. Over the past few weeks we've done several different batches; each with varying success. The favorite was not only "brace friendly," but also worked very well with caramel apples. What a tasty way to celebrate Halloween and the fall apple harvest!
COOL CARAMEL
Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound butter
- 2 1/2 cups light corn syrup
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- nuts (optional)
Method:
- Cook the first four ingredients on medium high. Stir constantly until the mixture reaches the soft ball stage.
- Stir in vanilla.
- If you are making caramel, pour the mixture into an 8" x 8" pan which has been lined with parchment paper. Chill until firm, then cut into individual servings and wrap in wax paper.
- If you are making caramel apples, dip apples in the mixture, then dip the bottom of the apple in nuts, and place on parchment paper.
