  • Melt butter in a heavy 3-quart saucepan over medium heat; stir in brown sugar and salt. Stir in corn syrup. Slowly pour in milk, stirring constantly until combined. Using a candy thermometer, cook to 248 degrees F (about 25 minutes), stirring occasionally (the mixture will be very bubbly). Remove saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla and nuts. Immediately pour into prepared pan.

  • Let candy cool completely before cutting into 1-inch squares. Wrap each square in waxed paper or plastic wrap and store in an airtight container at room temperature. Makes about 2 pounds (about 64 pieces).

Tips

Prepare and wrap caramels. Store tightly covered in a cool, dry place up to 2 weeks.
