5 Minutes and 5 ingredients Caramels


    Making candy is kind of a lost art. Dealing with screaming hot sugar, giant kettles, and finicky techniques just isn’t that appealing. While buying candy is easy enough, artisan products cost a small fortune, and run-of-the-mill selections at the supermarket leave a lot to be desired. Thankfully, these 5 recipes show you how to make some killer sweets that are also super easy. With a little patience and a handful of basic ingredients, these homemade candies will reward you with sweet success.

    Taste for a fraction of the work. Just stir a mixture of butter, corn syrup, sugar, and condensed milk in a pot. Let the mixture boil, then simmer for 7 to 10 minutes, and pour it into a baking dish. A sprinkle of sea salt ups the ingredient list to 5, but the flavor is well worth the extra 2 seconds.

Ingredients :

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup light Karo syrup
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

1. Combine all ingredients in heavy sauce pan.

2. Cook 6 minutes oven medium heat, stirring every two minutes.

3. Stir and pour into lightly greased dish.

4. Let cool.

5. Cut, wrap in wax paper & store in an air tight container
