The best caramels!

Totally Fabulous Caramels!

2 C. Sugar

1 C. Butter

2 C. Cream

1 3/4 C. Corn syrup

1 Tsp. Vanilla

Mix sugar, butter, corn syrup and 1 cup cream. Bring to a boil at medium heat. While boiling slowly add the remaining cup of cream. (Add slowly enough that the boil isn't hindered.) Cook until firm ball. Take caramels off the heat and add the vanilla. Pour into a buttered 9x13 pan.

This recipe ends up being much faster that other caramel recipes because you bring it to a boil with only half the cream. Making it so important to keep the boil going. The corn syrup also helps to create faster boil and hard ball times, and it also helps the caramels to set up more firmly. So far this recipe seems to be fail proof and has turned out every time we've made it!
