It is simple in the truest form and makes the perfect holiday gift that leaves your friends and loved ones excitedly awaiting next year's batch. —Annie Clark

-
2 1/4 cups
Brown Sugar

1/4 teaspoon
Salt
-
1 cup
White Karo Syrup
-
1
Can of Sweetened Condensed Milk
-
1 teaspoon
Vanilla Extract
Directions

Grease a large baking pan, I use 9"x12", and place parchment paper inside. Also grease the parchment paper.

Melt the butter in a pot.

Mix in brown sugar and salt.
-
Add in karo syrup untill combined and then the sweetened and condensed milk.

Continue to stir until the temperature of the caramels reaches 245 degrees Fahrenheit. To check without a thermometer, wait for caramel to boil (about 12 minutes) and drop a bit into a cup of cold water. If the candy can form into a ball it should be done.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

Pour into pan and allow to rest for around 2 hours.
