Ingredients
Sugars:
- 2 1/4 cups brown sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
Dairy:
- 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup butter
For Good Measure:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Chocolate:
- 1 pound Merkens milk chocolate
Directions
- Gently melt butter over medium heat, don’t let it burn.
- Add condensed milk, brown sugar and corn syrup.
- Make sure you wear gloves and stir constantly.
- Remove from heat and then add in the vanilla.
- Pour into molds such as 24-Cavity Silicone Mold using an Easy Pour Funnel
- If you wish to add nuts, add a small layer of caramel, then add the nuts and fill the rest with caramel.
- Place molds in the freezer. (Because we are using soft caramel, flash freezing it will harden it enough to withstand the heat of the chocolate).
- Melt chocolate in double boiler; I recommend Merkens chocolate becaus
e it is very easy to work with and you do not have to deal with tempering the chocolate. - Pop a caramel out of the mold and then dip it using the forks from a Dipping Tool Set.
- Place dipped Caramel on cookie sheet lined with wax paper.
- Let the cool and then you can enjoy!
Heat to 240 degrees for a soft caramel. You can go lower or higher. The higher the temperature the harder the caramel.
