Caramel Recipe for Jonathan and Daughter

I think I found a great use for my Blog--talking about FOOD! Jonathan's caramels were great, so I wanted to share our family recipe with him. He and his daughter can add this version to their candy making repertoire.

Cream Caramels
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup butter
2 cups cream
Butter an 8x8 square pan. Combine sugar, corn syrup, butter, and half the cream in large saucepan. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Stir in remaining cream.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, to 245 degrees on candy thermometer (or until small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water forms a firm ball). Immediately spread mixture evenly over pan. cool. Cut into 1 inch squares.

It might be fun to make a gift box of your dark caramels and these light caramels.
