Time 1h20m

Yield 25

Number Of Ingredients 9

cooking spray (such as Pam®)
2 cups white sugar
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream, divided
¾ cup corn syrup
⅓ cup butter
1 teaspoon white vinegar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Spray a large loaf pan or 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Stir white sugar, 3/4 cup cream, corn syrup, butter, vinegar, and salt together in a heavy pot; bring to a boil. Stir in remaining cream. Cook, stirring constantly, until caramel is 244 degrees F (117 degrees C), or until a small amount of caramel dropped into cold water forms a firm but pliable ball, 10 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool briefly.
  • Stir walnuts and vanilla extract into caramel; pour caramel into prepared baking dish. Cool completely, at least 1 hour. Turn baking dish over onto a flat work surface to remove cooled caramel from dish; cut caramel into serving pieces.
