Ingredients
- 1cup butter
- 2cups brown sugar
- 114-oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1cup light corn syrup
- 1/2tsp salt
- 2tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large saucepan over medium-heat, add the butter, brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk, corn syrup, and salt. While stirring constantly, bring to a boil and heat to 245ºF using a candy thermometer. Cook for 2 minutes when it reaches desired temperature. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Meanwhile, place a piece of parchment into a 9x13-inch baking pan and spray with cooking spray. Pour the caramel into the dish and spread evenly. Allow to cool at room temperature and chill for 1 hour in the fridge before cutting into squares.
Recipe Notes
If you do not have a candy thermometer, you can tell the caramel is ready when you drop a small amount of the caramel in a glass of cold water and it forms a soft ball which is easily flattened.
To slice, remove from the parchment paper and cut using scissors.
