Delicious, chewy soft caramel candies that melt in your mouth!
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 cup butter cut into pieces
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to drape over the edges. Butter the parchment paper lightly.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, condensed milk, and salt. Stir over medium heat until butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Increase heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 245°F (firm-ball stage) on a candy thermometer.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the hot caramel into the prepared pan. Let it cool completely at room temperature.
- Once cooled, lift the caramel from the pan using the overhanging parchment paper. Cut into small squares or desired shapes.
- Wrap each candy square in wax paper to prevent them from sticking together.

I tried these once, and they were gone in a day. SO addictive!
I completely agree! These candies just disappear! I’ve made them twice and everyone loves them!
Addictive? Sure, but I found them way too sweet for my taste. Not sure I’d make them again.
Just a tip, be careful when boiling the mixture! I almost burned my pan 😅
Thanks for the advice! I really want to try making these, but I’m clumsy in the kitchen 😅.
Uh oh! How did you almost burn it? Did you increase the heat too fast? I’m worried I might mess up too.
Not a fan. They taste way too sweet for me.
Making these for a birthday party, hope everyone likes them!
Sounds delicious! I’m sure they’ll love it! 🍬
These are the best caramels I’ve ever made! So soft and tasty!
I tried this recipe, but my caramels turned out too hard. What did I do wrong?
Great recipe but can someone tell me what ‘firm-ball stage’ means?🤔
Honestly, I was skeptical about using corn syrup, but it worked out!
This recipe is like magic! My kids loved helping me make them.
