The Realtor's Chocolate Caramels
- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Yields:
-
64 pieces
- Serves:
- 64
ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 3 ounces semisweet chocolate
- 1 1⁄4 cups sweetened condensed milk
- 4 tablespoons corn syrup
- 2 1⁄4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
directions
- Grease the inside of an 8x8 inch baking pan, line with parchment paper that over hangs the sides so you can pull it out like it has handles. Grease the parchment, too.
- Put everything in a large heavy bottom saucepan. Stir with a wooden spoon over medium heat and bring to a boil, letting chocolate melt completely.
- Turn heat down to medium-low and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 minutes. It should boil very gently during this time. It's very important to stir constantly because it will burn really easy whike cooking. When it's cooked the candy will be very thick.
- Pour it into the prepared pan and set on cooling rack to cool completely- about 2 hours. Cut into 3/4 inch squares.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Realtor by day, Chef by night
Vineland, NJ
I'm a full-time Realtor for Century 21 Graham Realty during the day and at night I'm a wife and mother of one 6 year old daughter, Angelina plus one small dorkie dog (dachshund-yorkie mix) named Petey. I love to cook and experiment with new recipes. I've been collecting cookbooks (I have a few hundred) and recipes for as long as I can remember. I like to buy recipe boxes at yard sales and auctions and peak through them for yummy recipe gems. I've found some really amazing recipes that way. I'm a huge fan of Le Creuset enameled cast iron cookware. I've been collecting different pieces for a few years now. I always considered myself a great cook but these pans raise things to a whole new level.
I'm planning to post all of my favorite recipes that I've collected over the years. I have all these clippings and pieces of paper and magazine clips that are everywhere. My recipe boxes are packed with these things and it's time to organize the whole mess. I suppose it will take years (did I say years?!?) to get them all posted but it's worth it. So keep checking back to my posts for new goodies. I can't wait to see what long lost gems turn up. I've already run across several of my old favs. Isn't it nice to have all your best recipes all organized right here? I've also been printing them out and putting them in a nice new binder where I can actually find them when I want to make them. I LOVE this site.
I have found some of the best recipes EVER right here on 'Zaar. There are some fantastic cooks here and I just want to say "Thank you" to all of you who have made me look like the greatest cook on the planet with your wonderful recipes. I try to make as many new ones each week as I can. It's so much fun experimenting. My DH of 9 years is my guinea pig- he will eat ANYTHING I put in front of him. My little girl... well, she's more of a challenge to please. Not really picky but she doesn't really like meat or stuffing or peppers or mushrooms or.... oh, the new one is onions. I could go on but you get the idea. You probably have or had one just like her. They seem to learn all about these things that they don't like at school. All of the sudden...they don't like something they've been eating for 3 years because their friend "Alyssa" doesn't like it. What a challenge it is feeding these little creatures! That's her and Petey in the picture above.
