Ingredients

2 c. sugar

1/2 c. butter

2 c. whipping (heavy) cream

3/4 c. light corn syrup

additional butter, for pan

--------------------

Flavor Options:

(You can use one, all, or none)

1/2 c. chopped pecans

1 tsp. vanilla

sea salt

Directions

Grease bottom and sides of square pan, 8 x 8 x 2 or 9 x 9 x 2 inches, with additional butter. Spread pecans in pan, if using.

Heat 1/2 cup butter, sugar, cream, and corn syrup to boiling in 3-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook, stirring frequently, to 245 degrees F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water forms a firm ball that holds its shape until pressed.

Remove from heat and add vanilla, if using, stirring rapidly to incorprate. Immediatly pour into pan (over pecans, if using); cool.

If desired, sprinkle tops of caramels with small amount of sea salt - you would not believe how delicious this is.

Cut into 1-inch squares. Wrap individually in plastic wrap or waxed paper.

Oh Natalie, Thank you for finding my recipe for caramels for me. That is the same exact recipe that my Grandma made. And when I moved in January (even if it was just next door)I lost the recipe. Thank you so very much for sharing. I would have called Grandma, but she has alzheimers, and she wouldn't be able to help me. I appreciate you very much....Cheryl PS: High 5

Nat - Sorry to be a pain - you have 2C of sugar listed in the ingredients but you don't say when to use it. Would I melt it in the pan with the butter cream and corn syrup?
Thanks so much Hun!
