Chocolate Caramels

Source of Recipe

Nestle


List of Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 can (14 oz.) CARNATION Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 bar (2 oz. total) NESTLÉ TOLL HOUSE Unsweetened Chocolate Baking Bars
1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Recipe

LINE 8-inch-square baking pan with foil; grease.

COMBINE butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and corn syrup in heavy-duty, medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and butter is melted. Add sweetened condensed milk and chocolate; stir constantly until chocolate is melted. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for 25 to 35 minutes or until mixture reaches 245 degrees on candy thermometer. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla extract. Immediately pour into prepared pan. Cool.

LIFT from pan; remove 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 MEDIUM-LOW (30%) power for about 2 minutes or warm in 200 degree oven for about 5 minutes.
