What’s the serving size?
Makes 40 caramel sticks
What do I need?
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
- ½ cup glucose syrup
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/8 tsp salt
- ¾ tsp vanilla extract
How do I make it?
- Grease a 20 centimetre square baking dish and set aside.
- Place butter in a large glass microwave safe bowl and heat in microwave until butter has melted. Add glucose syrup, both sugars, condensed milk and salt and whisk thoroughly.
- Return to microwave and cook on high for 6 minutes. Carefully remove from microwave (it will be very hot). Test by placing a small spoon of the caramel in a bowl of ice water then remove it from the water. It should have formed a soft, pliable ball. If it needs a bit of extra time return to the microwave and heat in 20 second increments.
- Add vanilla extract and mix well, then pour mix into prepared baking dish. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes. Cut into rectangular pieces and wrap each piece in wax paper.
