Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated, white sugar
• ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup of honey (tip: spray the measuring cup with non stick spray so it comes out easily)
• 4 oz butter (8 tablespoons) - use the highest quality butter you can find
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt

Directions

• Heat the sugar and honey in a large pot on medium heat and allow the mixture to dissolve and deepen in color.
• While the sugar-honey is dissolving, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it comes to a simmer.
• Once the sugar-honey has darkened a bit (~7-10 minutes), add in the butter and cream. Stir until combined.
• Clip your candy thermometer on to your pot and heat over medium-high until the mixture reaches about 248 degrees for a medium-chew. 248 degrees for a chewy candy and 250 for a firm candy.
• Remove the pot from the heat and VERY quickly and carefully stir in the vanilla extract and salt (it will bubble violently).
• Pour the molten caramel into a glass dish (9x9 works well) lined with heavy parchment paper or silicone baking mold.
• Let cool for at least 2 hours then slice and wrap individually - after trying many wrappers theseare the best by far.
