Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup + 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 1/4 cups Sugar
- 1 1/4 cups Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Corn Syrup
- 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 tsp Vanilla
Instructions
- Line a 9 x 13 pan with aluminum foil. Use entire 1 tbsp butter to grease the foil.
- In a large, deep sauce pan over medium heat combine 1 cup butter, sugars, corn syrup, and 1 cup heavy cream.
- Stir constantly until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted. Bring to a boil, but not a rolling boil.
- Slowly stir in additional 1 cup heavy cream.
- Cook without stirring until candy thermometer reads 240 degrees.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Pour into prepared pan. Do not scrape sides of the sauce pan where crystals have formed. Scraping bottom and partial sides to get remaining liquid is okay.
- Let stand until firm.
- Lift out of the pan and peel foil off. Cut into oblong pieces, wrap individually in waxed paper or candy foils, and twist ends to close.
Notes
- Make sure to monitor the temperature carefully to avoid burning the mixture.
- Using a candy thermometer is essential for achieving the right consistency.
