Salted Caramels
A delicious sweet treat, salted caramels are easier to make than you think!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup Lyle's Golden Syrup or light corn syrup
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Line a 6 x 8 or 8 x 8 inch pan with parchment; set aside.
- Combine all ingredients except vanilla in heavy 4-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until butter is melted and mixture comes to a boil, about 10-15 minutes.
- Continue cooking without stirring, 25-30 minutes or until candy thermometer reaches 244°F (or to 248°F for a slightly firmer caramel) or small amount of mixture dropped into ice water forms a firm ball—see “The Cold Water Test Method” above for more detail..
- Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Pour into prepared pan. Cool slightly (so the salt doesn’t dissolve into the caramel), then sprinkle with sea salt.
- When the caramel is cool, cut into pieces of your desired size.
- Wrap the candies individually and store in the refrigerator. Take out to warm before serving.
Notes
The calorie count is based on smaller (cut into 32) pieces of caramel.
