Instructions

  1. Line an 8 inch square cake pan with parchment paper, set aside.
  2. In a large non stick pot add the sugar, corn syrup, butter, salt and 1 cup of cream.  Cook stirring (whisking) continuously until syrup has dissolved and boils. Slowly add the remaining cream, mixing continuously and continue on a slow boil, over low heat until mixture reaches 248° F (this takes a while so don't be impatient).
  3. Remove the pot from the heat, add the vanilla and stir to combine. Immediately pour the mixture into the prepared pan, do not scrape the pot. Let the caramel cool in the pan for 30 minutes then sprinkle with sea salt or drizzle chocolate over it if desired. Cover the pan and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
  4. Remove the caramel from the pan, cut into squares. Enjoy!
