During the holidays I am always looking for ways to recreate family memories. One such memory for me is the homemade caramels my grandma and aunts used to make. My good friend Stephanie shared this super easy and almost fail-proof way to make this memory happen for my family lickety-split!
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup karo syrup
1 can sweetened condensed milk
In a large microwave safe bowl melt the butter. Then add the remaining ingredients mix well and microwave 7- 7 1/2 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir then microwave another 7 minutes. (Depending on your microwave you may have to allot more or less time. Check the caramels and take them out before they get too dark.) Stir and pour into a well buttered 9 x 13 pan. Refrigerate to set. Cut into 1 inch pieces and wrap in wax paper. Store in an air tight container in fridge.
