Hajar's Chewy Melty Caramels image

These are the best caramels I could come up with after a lot of trial and error. I wanted something chewy but not an everlasting gobstopper! I wanted chewy with a melting quality and I finally got it. Not an everyday thing for the calorie conscious but a yummmmy treat every now and then. Your yield will depend on how you cut them. I get approx. 45. Big or small you will love them!

Time 45m

Yield 30-45 candies, 20-50 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups white corn syrup
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Butter a 9x13 inch dish well.
  • In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, 1 cup cream and butter. Bring to a boil, stirring often, then stir in remaining 1 cup cream. Heat, without stirring, to 242 degrees F (116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a firm but pliable ball.
  • Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and pour into prepared dish. Refrigerate.
  • When cool, return to room temperature but still cool, cut into squares and wrap in waxed paper. I recommend 1 inch squares.
