my grandma gave me her homemade caramels recipe yesterday. i’m going to have to go grocery shopping so i can try my hand at it. the only candy i’ve ever really tried making is english toffee, so this should be interesting.

1 c. sugar
3/4 c. dark corn syrup
1/2 c. butter
1 c. light cream (grandma uses condensed milk)
1/2 c. chopped nuts
1/2 tsp. vanilla

butter the sides of a two quart saucepan. combine sugar, corn syrup, butter, and half of cream. bring to boil over low heat, stirring constantly. slowly stir in remaining cream, and cook over low heat to medium ball stage, stirring almost constantly toward and. remove from heat, and nuts and vanilla, and pour into a buttered 9 x 5 x 3 pan. mark squares when warm, cut when cool, wrap, and store.
