Caramels
- 1 cup butter

1 cup light corn syrup
1 (14-ounce) can NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Sweetened

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

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.
