Homemade Caramels :) image

These are so good they taste like a name brand candy outlet when you use the nuts. You can make these without nuts too. I use more nuts than called for and use 2 cups total of half & half. Got this recipe from a friend and everyone loves it. I put them in the refrigerator until starts to set and then I take them out so they don't get too hard. Enjoy!! If for some reason they set too long and get hard, pop them in the microwave for a few for a nice warm chewy caramel.

Time 1h10m

Yield 60 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup butter
2 cups half-and-half cream
1/2 cup walnuts

Steps:

  • Bring slow to a boil the sugar, corn syrup, butter and 1 cup of the half & half. Then gradually stir in 1 more cup of cream. Stir frequently as mixture begins to thicken. then constantly stir as it darkens.
  • Cook to 254 degrees ( a little dropped into cold water forms a hard ball) I find this takes about an hour.
  • Pour into buttered cookie sheet with 1/2 cup broken nuts scattered over bottom.
  • Put in refrigerator until they begin to set and take out. When cold, cut into squares.
  • Wrap individually in small pieces of saran wrap.
