The combination of brown sugar, corn syrup, and sweetened condensed milk creates a perfectly smooth caramel that melts in your mouth.
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
Prepare a Dish: Grease an 8×8-inch dish or line it with parchment paper.
Mix Ingredients: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, corn syrup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir well to combine.
Microwave: Microwave the mixture on high for 6 minutes, stopping every 2 minutes to stir. After 6 minutes, the caramel should be bubbly and thick.
Add Vanilla: Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot!) and stir in the vanilla extract. If you like a salty-sweet flavor, sprinkle some sea salt over the top.
Cool: Pour the caramel mixture into the prepared dish and let it cool for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy!
