Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Your Pan: First, grease a small square baking pan with non-stick spray or butter to prevent the caramels from sticking.
  • Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it is fully liquid.
  • Combine Sugars: Once the butter is melted, stir in both the white sugar and brown sugar, mixing until they are well-combined.
  • Add Heavy Cream: Gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. (Make sure to avoid any lumps!)
  • Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil while stirring. Once boiling, stop stirring and let it bubble for 5-6 minutes.
  • Check for Doneness: To ensure it reaches the right stage, you’ll want the caramel to reach about 235°F (118°C).
  • Finish the Caramel: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  • Pour and Cool: Immediately pour the hot caramel into your prepared pan. Allow it to cool completely before cutting into squares.
