Homemade Caramel- Bri

1 c. butter

2 c. packed brown sugar

2 cups half & half

1 c. corn syrup

1 t. vanilla

In a saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add brown sugar, milk, and corn syrup; mix well. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until mixture boils. Reduce heat to medium, continue stirring.

Keep a little cup with cold water to test the caramel. When the mixture has come together but is still soft when you drop a spoonful in the water, it is ready. Try testing it after it has boiled for about 10 minutes. Add the vanilla after removing from heat.
