Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons corn syrup (Karo)
- 2 tablespoons water
- ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream (+ 1 tablespoon heavy cream, separated)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- milk chocolate (or dark chocolate)
Steps
-
In a small saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup & water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
-
Allow mixture to boil until the liquid reaches an amber color (approx. 15 minutes… but keep a close eye on it starting at about 10 minutes).
-
Once the mixture has reached a nice amber color, remove from heat. While stirring, slowly pour in ⅓ cup cream. Stir in vanilla, butter and salt. Let cool about 15-20 minutes. Stir in remaining cream and cool to room temperature.
-
Melt chocolate in a double boiler (or on low in the microwave) until smooth.
-
Pour a little bit of chocolate into each of your wells (either your molds or your foil baking/candy cups). Smooth it up the sides and across the bottom making sure you have a thick uniform layer.
-
Refrigerate 5 minutes to set. Remove from the fridge and if using a mold, hold it up to the light to check for thin spots.
-
Fill almost to the top of the chocolate with the caramel. Refrigerate about 5 minutes.
-
Top with more chocolate and tap the molds gently on the counter to smooth. Let set in the fridge 20 minutes.
