Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 2 cup heavy cream warmed
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Grease a glass 9x13 inch pan
  • to a large pot, add white sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, 1 cup heavy cream, and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat stirring often.
  • Stir in the remaining cup of heavy cream and continue to boil on low heat without stirring.
  • Get a cup or bowl and fill it with ice water. Place an eating spoon in the ice water to get it nice and cold.
  • The caramel will go from a light color to a darker color and begin to have a thicker consistency. Take the cold spoon. and scoop out a small amount of caramel. Place it in the cup of ice water for 10-15 seconds.
  • Pull the spoon up and push the caramel with your finger to see if it forms a ball. If it's too soft still, continue to boil and recheck every couple of minutes until you like the consistency of the caramel.
  • When the caramel is at the preferred consistency, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
  • Pour into the prepared dish and allow to cool slightly. Cover and place in the fridge until completely cooled.
  • Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles of your choosing and wrap in pieces of wax paper or parchment paper.
  • Place the wrapped caramels in a zip loc bag and store them in the fridge for up to three weeks. But trust me, they won't last that long!
