The reason that your temperature stalls out around 220 F, is because there is water in your caramel, and that needs to boil out first before your candy is ready.
I made these for Xmas and my family *LOVED THEM* 😋 . I will say this... if you don’t have a candy thermometer; be sure to simmer it for 25-35mins. I simmered mine for 25mins, but it was shy of the perfect texture... a little too soft. Hope this advice helps!! 🍬🍬🍬
I grew up making these with my Mom. Such great memories. So glad you showed the drip/water method of testing. That was the most magical part for me as a kid. Mom backed that up with a candy thermometer too. Thanks for posting this. 💖
1 cup unsalted butter ≈ 227 grams 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk ≈ 396 grams (1 ounce is approximately 28.35 grams, so 14 ounces is about 398 grams, but there may be a slight variation) 1 cup corn syrup ≈ 320 grams 2 cups brown sugar ≈ 400 grams (assuming packed brown sugar) 2 teaspoons vanilla extract ≈ 10 grams 1/4 teaspoon salt ≈ 1.5 grams 235°F to 240°F (113°C to 116°C
I use white sugar and heated mine to 240° on low heat. They were very soft but not sticky and otherwise came out perfect. This was my first time making caramel and it was a success. Thank you!
Centerfield home run with family and friends! Thank you! I found it worked well to dump the whole sheet onto a cutting board and cut the Carmel with a pizza cutter.
I just made these and they're cooling on my counter now! I'm way too excited about these. Super easy and will make a perfect addition to my holiday goodies box gifts. Thanks!
First time I've ever made caramels and they came out perfect. The temp did stall at about 230 for a few minutes and I took them off at about 238. Chilled overnight and they were amazing!
My daughter makes caramels every year at Christmas time from a recipe I got from my sister-in-law, but I've never had the courage to try making them myself. This might push me over the edge, because now my mouth is watering! And I really like being able to make and use invert sugar instead of corn syrup! Thanks!
I made this today, it's very tasty. I screwed up not cooking it until it reached the correct temperature It was too soft. I went to 230. I also used dark brown sugar, use light brown sugar.
I love these caramels! The ease of preparing them make it a dangerous recipe to know for the old waist line😂 Been giving them to people and everyone loves them! Thanks!
I've already made them and they were great, and easy to do!! I love watching your videos, I've tried many of your recipes. Do you have one for chocolate-flavored caramel?
I was looking for an alternative to "gummies" as a medical condition requires I consume or smoke pot. I dissolved the THC into the butter and produced the best carmels I have ever had. thank you, thank you thank you.
Hello ma'am.. Thank u for sharing ur idea of caramel.. Here in Philippines 🇵🇭, that is could YEMA😉, I love ❤️ the way u teach how to cook the CARAMEL or YEMA.. ❤💚💙🙏 God bless you always and stay safe
I have tried 3 different Carmel recipes and this one IS the best. I only used one stick of butter though. I didn't want that many calories in my Carmel. The candy came out amazing. I do suggest lining the pan either with parchment or waxed paper. After I cut the candy I did wrap small pieces in waxed paper. I placed candy in Ziploc bags and I'm storing them n the freezer. I might even dip some in chocolate because I like that combination. Maybe use peanut butter and chocolate? I like coconut and Carmel really good.
My mom literally got some homemade Carmels that were absolutely delicious and we just have 2 left and decided we wanted to make some, thank you so much. Many people don’t want to give sways there special recipes but you. Thanks again. I’ve always enjoyed makeing homemade desserts as a kid like now.
i dunno if mine will harden enough, think I didn't simmer long enough but oh well because it tastes amazing either way haha. thanks. I put about 1.5 tsp in coffee as well to start, with cream, and its really good
Agave syrup is better than honey, honey isn't consistent batch to batch. It can still crystallize. I think its possible glucose syrup could work, but true invert sugar is a mix of glucose and fructose.
I just found one from three months ago that got lost in the pantry. Still good! But officially they should stay good at room temperature for 2-3 weeks, and frozen for 6 months.
I wish I could hug you and your grandma! Haha...my family has gone BONKERS for this. I do prefer to cook mine a bit further because I like it firmer and I find it also does not stick so much to the wrappers. I doubled the vanilla also. (My homemade vanilla!) We like to eat apples and along wth the apples we have a "log" of caramel. Haha seriously I am not kidding. My brother said holy cow..."this is the best stuff I've ever eaten.) I have found that doing it the old fashion way works best for me. Although I use my digital thermometer to get an idea of exactly how hot it's getting when it feels the way I like it. Thank you for sharing your family's recipe!!!
I’m going to try making these. How would I make them salted caramels? I buy salted caramels at a Mennonite market near me and I love getting that little pop of salt when I eat it.
Could walnuts be added to this? At what point would the walnuts need to be added? I'm going to try and make english walnut squares like the ones See's Candies sell. Also, when measuring the brown sugar, is it firmly packed or loosely measured?
These look absolutely delicious, the texture is especially impressive. I am confused why it's called a caramel, as you don't actually caramelize the sugar at any point. Usually the sugar is browned first without the dairy because sugar doesn't brown until 320F.

Yup. When I make candy, I know the water’s gone went the temp shoots up.
I didn’t know that! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the tip 👍
Thank you! I was wondering, I just let it keep boiling, praying it didn’t burn. Turned out great!
Literally came to this video because I was wondering about this! Thank you!!!

I used a meat thermometer and it worked just as well for me. Very inexpensive. Got mine at my local Kroger for about 20 dollars I think

It’s CARAMEL
@@paulinemegson8519 that's how they spell it at their house
Just wanted to let you know that u have an amazing granny
Amazing recipe
I like how you explained that the corn syrup keeps it from getting crystals. My friend didn't use it, and it turned out grainy.
Yo this looking delicious! Can’t wait to try this
Hope you enjoy
These old-fashioned caramels will make a beautiful addition to my Christmas Baskets. My family will love them too. 😉
Great idea!!
Hello nice comments
I will be making these soon! Soft caramels are the best!
Delicious! Struggling to wrap them though
Thank u for the info for the sub for corn syrup
My daughter has been making all of the candies this year. Turning out pretty darn good to.
just found your videos and your channel...You are AWESOME
Looks so good
TY 4 the recipe ! ❤😊
Thank you so much for this, it's exactly like my grandmas

Oh how good do these look!!
You make it look so easy not mastered this recipe yet but will keep trying thankyou 😊💕
I just made these for the first time. Now i have to wait for them to cool.
Love carmels,great recipe xo
Wrapping caramels isn’t an optional extra. You HAVE to wrap them individually or they’ll turn into a horrendous, sticky mess.
Thank you for posting! They look amazing! Such a great video! 😊

Greetings from India, when a well easy to do recipe thank you
i dunno if mine will harden enough, think I didn't simmer long enough but oh well because it tastes amazing either way haha. thanks. I put about 1.5 tsp in coffee as well to start, with cream, and its really good
Definitely helpful
Looks good
It is
They look really good, can you recomend s corn syrup subsitute as that product isn't available to us in England.
I heard agave syrup or honey is good
Agave syrup is better than honey, honey isn't consistent batch to batch. It can still crystallize. I think its possible glucose syrup could work, but true invert sugar is a mix of glucose and fructose.
Making these for Christmas !!!!! ty🎄👍
Hope you enjoy!
Wow super nice 🎉
How do I appreciate you! Well I would say that looks so delicious Good Job!
Hello nice comments
How long do they keep after being made? Thinking of adding these into a cookie box for christmas
I just found one from three months ago that got lost in the pantry. Still good! But officially they should stay good at room temperature for 2-3 weeks, and frozen for 6 months.

My pleasure 😊

Love this😋
If I used silicone molds, do I still have butter it? And I'd like to add roasted nuts.
Omg amazing.... recipe
I like using wafer paper to wrap sticky candies in. No un wrapping, just pop them in your mouth paper and all.
*THIS IS REALLY A N AWESOME SHARING 😋😋😋👍❤🌷❤🌷❤🌷❤🌷🌻💛🌻💛🌻💛🌻💛*
Im so going to try this 😋
Looks delicious 👍🏼
Thank you 😋

Wow so yummmmm
Awesome
Looks perfect and delicious 👍👍👍👌👌👌

Add the salt on top after you've spread it out in the dish. Salted caramels.
Love corn syrup n will always use it.. if we all did what we were told wed be unhappy n no spark
Could you use maple flavored syrup instead of the corn syrup to give them a maple Carmel flavor?
Can I use these in cookie dough?
THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME
Can’t wait to make this
I've heard of people using honey instead of corn syrup as well. You should try it some day.
looks so tasty 😋
Thank you 😋

You caramels look incredibly chewy and delicious!
Thank you 😋
Can you add chopped nuts in after its done cooking
Can they be infused
Love them ❤️❤️❤️💯
Can I make them into chocolate caramels by just adding cocoa powder or baking chocolate?
These look absolutely delicious, the texture is especially impressive. I am confused why it's called a caramel, as you don't actually caramelize the sugar at any point. Usually the sugar is browned first without the dairy because sugar doesn't brown until 320F.
Thanks for sharing
How long does it last?
im just wondering if maybe im overthinking but when your adding the corn syrup it looks to me like it was 2 cups you added,, just wondering ..i madew them with 1,5 cups and it was very good trying 1 cup tonight
Thank you for another delicious recipe 👍♥️👏👏👏👏
I'd like to ask: can I omit the salt as I am on a very low sodium diet?
