Chocolate
Caramels
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 (14-ounce) can NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Sweetened
Condensed Milk
1 (2-ounce) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Unsweetened Chocolate
Baking Bar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Line 8-inch-square baking
pan with foil; grease.
- Combine butter, granulated
sugar, brown sugar and corn syrup in heavy-duty 2 1/2-quart saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture boils
and butter is melted. Add condensed milk and chocolate; stir
constantly until chocolate is melted. Cook over medium-low heat,
stirring frequently until mixture reaches 245° F. on candy
thermometer, about 25 to 35 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in
vanilla extract. Immediately pour into prepared pan. Cool.

foil. Cut into 1-inch squares and wrap individually in plastic
wrap, twisting ends. Store at room temperature; use within 7
to 10 days.

Note: If caramels become too firm to
cut, soften slightly in microwave oven on DEFROST for about 2
minutes; or warm in 200°F oven for about 5 minutes.
