These look delicious! I've never been game to try making caramels.
omg yum
Unfortunately, 250º is not softball stage. Softball is 240º, Firmball 245º, and Hardball is 250º
Those look as good as anything you can get out of a store, probibly taste better too. I want to eat the whole tray.
those look delicious
Those look delicious and now I'm set on making them, did you use light brown sugar or dark brown, not sure if it matters? thanks for the recipe
hey janice, if i were you id use dark brown. Even when a recipe calls for light, i use dark. It adds more flavor to that way ^^
and omg...im going to make caramels...too often and get fat...they look soooooo good Q_Q
I make caramels a few times a year with a fairly similar recipe. I have found that freezer paper is better than wax paper to wrap them in. It's more sturdy and less likely to stick. It doesn't look as nice though. I'm glad there are other caramel enthusiasts out there!
About how many caramels does this recipe make?
these look great and simple! thanks for sharing!
Nice recipe, but an announcement...
IT IS WAY WAY WAY EASIER.
Here's how- get a can of sweetened, condensed milk. (or 4) Boil enough water to cover the cans. Boil the cans at a roaring boil for about 4 hours FULLY SEALED AND UNOPENED. Keep water above the cans or the pressure could build up. The longer you leave it the harder the resulting caramel gets. Try this once and you will never use any other recipe EVER.

I'm not sure sweetened, condensed milk would have anywhere near the same flavor as the above recipe.
Definitely going to make some caramels this year, sounds like a good project.
I tried this recipe tonight. It was easy and tasted awesome. I made brittle one year and was surprised at how slowly the temperature rises on the thermometer...but then spikes quickly! So the temp took longer to rise than I thought that it would, but once it hit 225 it went to 245 in minutes. I can't wait to cut it up and try some tomorrow.
How do you make it sweeter?
How long should it take to get to 245? Do you just use a saucepan?
I just made these. Oh my goodness they are yummy. It took forever to wrap them all in was paper but they look so cute. Thanks for posting this.
I love caramels. Especially when sprinkled with coarse sea salt. I just wish they weren't so fiddly to wrap.
looks like a great recipe. i tried it and followed directions to a tee, including lining the cooling pan with tinfoil (sprayed as instructed) but my caramels were not at all firm - as a matter of fact, they were like pitch - stuck fast and furious to the tinfoil. there was NO WAY those caramels were coming off that tinfoil. any ideas on what i might have done wrong?
number 18, there are a couple things that might have been done wrong. in my experience caramel that sticks was either not cooked to a high enough temperature (thermometers can be wrong!) or it is simply too humid. if it was sticky all the way through though, it was probably the first one.
Yeah dont know what i did wrong too but mine stuck to the tinfoil too ... a mess but still good just had to pull it a part not fun ,,,,
Yums!
I make this recipe every year. cook them too long and they turn into a block. Too little cooking and they ooze all over. I recommend a candy thermometer , although an experienced candy maker could probably do without. Because the temperature tend to spike rather quickly you really need to know what you are doing if you don't use the thermometer.I also only use a greased 13X9 inch pan, I find it is much easier to remove the caramel than trying to mess with greased foil.
awesome
wow... very appetizing... will try to make one! :D
just put mine in the pan to cool, but i forgot to put the vanilla in them! :( and i greased the pan too much, it was very light actually but i guess even that was too much.
i'm a little impatient and i cut a small piece for myself, so yummy! i added sea salt on top, makes them much better in my opinion.
I just made caramels for the first time yesterday. They turned out awesome! I was trying them in an automated stir pan because of the stirring required and it worked great! I even dipped some in chocolate and sprinkled sea salt on top! Yumm! If you're interested in checking out the automated stir pan, you can look it up under "Kitchenstir". Thanks for your great tutorial and beautiful pictures!
looks great !
