Instructions

  1. Add the sugar, heavy cream, corn syrup, butter and salt to a dutch oven (with a candy thermometer attached) on medium heat, whisking well until it comes to a boil, then lower the heat to medium low, whisking well until it reaches 250 degrees.
  2. Turn off the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract then pour it into a 13x18 baking pan and let it harden for 4-6 hours before cutting.
  3. Place the caramels in the refrigerator for an hour before dipping to help keep them from melting before dipping.
  4. Melt the chocolate disks in 30 second increments until completely smooth then with a fork dip then dip them into the chocolate and place them on a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper to harden.
