Hajar's Chewy Melty Caramels
These are the best caramels i could come up with after a lot of trial and error. I wanted something chewy but not an everlasting gobstopper! I wanted chewy with a melting quality and i finally got it. Not an everyday thing for the calorie conscious but a yummmmy treat every now and then. Your yield will depend on how you cut them. I get approx. 45. Big or small you will love them!!
Steps
Butter a 9x13 inch dish well.
In a heavy saucepan , combine sugar , corn syrup , 1 cup cream and butter.
Bring to a boil , stirring often , then stir in remaining 1 cup cream.
Heat , without stirring , to 242 degrees f , or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a firm but pliable ball.
Remove from heat , stir in vanilla , and pour into prepared dish.
Refrigerate.
When cool , return to room temperature but still cool , cut into squares and wrap in waxed paper.
I recommend 1 inch squares.
