Cream Caramels

submitted by: Bridgette Fife
serves: 24 or more

Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup corn syrup
2 cups cream
1 cup butter, only use real butter
1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions:

  1. Butter 8x8 pan. Spread nuts in if you are going to use them.
  2. Combine sugar, butter, corn syrup and 1 cup cream in fairly large saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat. Stir in remaining cup of cream.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, to 245 or until mixture forms firm ball in cold water. Immediately pour into pans to set. Cut and wrap in waxed paper. I like to add a little more milk, cream or evaporated milk to make ice cream topping.
