Microwave Caramels

Recipe from Make it and Love it. Click here to visit their website.
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • coarse sea salt (I used regular salt)

Combine all ingredients in a microwave safe bowl.  Microwave for 7 minutes, stirring every two minutes. Pour mixture into a generously greased (I used butter) 8 inch square baking dish.  Sprinkle sea salt over the top while it’s still sticky.  Then let cool in the fridge for 45 minutes or until hardened.  Then peel out of the pan (I used a fork to loosen up the edges) and place on a sheet of wax paper (I used parchment paper).  Then slice into pieces with a buttered knife and place on a plate (keep them separate) or wrap in small pieces of wax paper.
