Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter sliced into 8 pieces
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tbsp. water
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. coarse sea salt

Instructions

  • Grease a 9x5" bread pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment paper, leaving enough overhand on the sides to pull the caramels out later.
  • Spray with parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Combine butter and heavy cream in a medium glass bowl and microwave for a minute and 30 seconds.
  • Stir and let butter melt.
  • Combine water and light corn syrup in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan over medium heat. Add granulated sugar and stir.
  • Bring mixture to a boil and cover for 1 minute.
  • Remove lid and insert a candy thermometer.
  • Cook for 5-10 minutes, until candy reaches 320F.
  • Pour a small amount of the cream mixture into the candy and stir.
  • Continue adding the cream mixture a little bit at a time, stirring after each addition.
  • Cook until candy reaches 240F, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Pour candy quickly into the prepared pan and let cool for about 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and let cool for another 3-4 hours.
  • To serve, pull caramel out of the pan using the overhanging parchment paper and slice into 1" pieces.
  • ENJOY!!
