MICROWAVE CARAMELS

MICROWAVE CARAMELS

Simple and easy caramels made in the microwave with just one bowl and no candy thermometer!  Sprinkle them with salt, dip or drizzle them with chocolate or wrap them in waxed paper to give as gifts!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup corn syrup (Karo Syrup)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
• OPTIONAL TOPPINGS
• Salt
• Chocolate

DIRECTIONS:

NOTE: THIS MIXTURE GETS VERY HOT. ENSURE THERE ARE NO CHILDREN UNDERFOOT WHEN YOU MAKE THIS.

1.       Mix all ingredients in a large microwave safe bowl (the mixture will bubble up so make sure there is lots of room in the bowl).

2.       Microwave on high for 6-7 minutes, stirring every 90 seconds.

3.       Pour into a small buttered dish and allow to cool completely. Cut into small squares.

4.       If desired, drizzle with chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt.

NOTES:

This was cooked in a 1000W microwave at 6 minutes and produced a soft yet chewy caramel.
