Homemade Caramel

Share

homemade caramel Ok, obviously I wasn’t going for pretty here, but boy does it taste good!!! PLUS it was super easy. Linus pretty much made it himself despite his protests. Not because he didn’t want to make something but because he had his heart set on making gingerbread man cookies, which was fine until I discovered I was out of ginger. He vowed he was NOT going eat this, but he would help make it. Well, guess what? He’s been eating it like it’s going to disappear. Which it might when Jeremiah gets home. Ingredients 1 stick butter 2 cups brown sugar 1 1/2 cups karo syrup 1 cup sweetened condensed milk 1 tablespoon white vinegar 1 teaspoon vanilla Mix first 5 ingredients. Bring to a boil, boil to soft ball stage on candy thermometer. Meanwhile, butter a 9×13 pan and line with parchment. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Pour into pan and allow to cool. Once cool remove and cut into desired pieces and wrap in wax paper. Note: as you can see in the picture, I added walnuts by putting a layer of them in the 9×13 pan before I poured the caramel in. You could do whatever nuts you want though!
