Ingredients

  • ½ cup salted butter (diced into cubes)
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup light corn syrup
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. 1

    Line a 9x9” baking pan with a silicone baking mat or heavily greased wax paper, set aside. Alternately, you can put a silicone baking mat on a larger baking sheet and note that you will not spread the caramel over the entire thing.

  2. 2

    Combine butter, corn syrup, condensed milk, brown sugar, granulated sugar and sea salt in a heavy-bottomed 4-quart (at least) saucepan. Whisk constantly until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
