Hey candy lovers! Ready to satisfy that sweet tooth with some homemade goodness? Let’s whip up some irresistible soft caramel candies that'll melt in your mouth and leave you craving more. Ready, set, caramelize!

Soft Caramel Candies Recipe​

Ingredients:​

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 2 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:​

1. Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment paper.
2. Melt the Butter: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and sweetened condensed milk until well combined.
3. Heat and Stir: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan. Continue stirring and cooking until the mixture reaches 245°F (118°C), about 10-15 minutes. This is the perfect temperature for soft caramels.
4. Remove from Heat: Once the caramel reaches the desired temperature, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
5. Pour and Cool: Carefully pour the hot caramel into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Let it cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until completely set.
6. Cut and Wrap: Once the caramel has set, use the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan. Place the caramel on a cutting board and cut it into small squares or rectangles with a sharp knife. Wrap each piece in wax paper or cellophane to keep them from sticking together.
7. Enjoy!: Indulge in your homemade soft caramel candies! Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

There you have it – homemade soft caramel candies that are perfect for sharing or savoring all by yourself. Happy candy-making!
