Recipe for Making Sea Salt Caramels 

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream 
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Flaky sea salt 

Procedure

1. Line an 8” x 8” baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.  
2. Place the butter, cream, sugar and corn syrup in a large saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Clip on a candy thermometer and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the temperature reaches 240 degrees Fahrenheit. 
3. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Immediately pour into your prepared pan. Wait 10 minutes then top with the flaky salt.  
4. Chill for about 3 hours, till firm, then transfer to a cutting board. Use a large greased knife to cut into desired shapes. Wrap each caramel in waxed paper and store in an airtight container.
