Aunt Lenore’s Caramel Candy

  • 2 Cups White Sugar
  • 1 3/4 Cup White Corn Syrup
  • 1 1/2 Cups Butter
  • 1 Cup Whipping Cream
  • 1 Cup Evaporated Milk 
  • 2 Tablespoons Vanilla
  • Parchment paper
  1. Put on your favorite Christmas music. Gather all of the ingredients and prepare for 45-60 minutes of good memories.  
  2. Mix the evaporated milk and cream into a bowl. Set aside.
  3. Melt butter in a large thick bottomed pan.  Add Sugar, corn syrup and half of the cream/evaporated milk mixture. Heat stirring mixture constantly until boiling and sugar is dissolved.  
  4. Then add remaining cream/evaporated milk mixture, and cook string constantly until 240 degree soft ball stage on a candy thermometer.
  5. Don’t rush this process by turning up the heat too high. Did I mention stir constantly? It makes all the difference! Remove from heat.
  6. Add vanilla and stir.  Pour in a 9×13 pan.  Let cool a couple hours or until set.  Cut into small pieces and wrap in parchment paper. Scrumptious, if I say so myself! 🙂 Enjoy!!
