I thought I would try making some home-made caramels for Christmas, and I have to tell you, these are so simple to make, yet so amazingly good.
COCONUT/MACADAMIA CARAMELS
Ingredients
1 teaspoon plus 1/2 cup butter, divided
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk (Eagle milk)
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup finely chopped macadamia nuts
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Line an 8-in. square baking dish with foil and grease the foil with 1 teaspoon butter; set aside.
In a large heavy saucepan, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, cream of tartar and remaining butter; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; gradually stir in milk. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until a candy thermometer reads 244° (firm-ball stage).
Remove from the heat; stir in remaining ingredients. Pour into prepared dish. Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.
Using foil, lift candy out of dish. Gently peel off foil; cut caramel into 1-in. squares. Wrap individually in waxed paper; twist ends. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 1-1/2 pounds
