Soft Caramels

Sorry I have been a little slow on my posts lately  -  I have been busy preparing for our annual Christmas Party and this is a recipe I make every year.  It came from my mother in law and they are a scrumptious candy to share  You do need a thermometer to make sure they get to the right temperature and patience to wait for them to cook!

½ pound butter

1 pound light brown sugar

1 cup light karo syrup

1 16 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk

Melt butter in heavy saucepan over medium high heat.  Add brown sugar and stir until it dissolves.  Add karo syrup and sweetened condensed milk.  Stir constantly until candy reaches 238 degrees on a candy thermometer.

Pour on greased cookie sheet and cool.  Cut into one inch squares and wrap in wax paper.  Store in the refrigerator.
