Caramels

Funny story about this recipe.  My nieces found it in my mothers recipe box that she had given them and made it this past Christmas.  I saw them talking on Facebook about grandma's caramel recipe and asked them for it.   I figured it must be their other grandma, since my mom never made caramel.  Imagine my surprise when I found out it came from my mom's recipe box!  I had always wanted to try making caramels, but was kind of intimidated to do so.  Now that I have made them, I feel silly for ever thinking that.  They are easy and delicious, and now part of my Christmas baking.

Caramels
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1cup butter
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Spray 8 inch glass dish and set aside.  Combine corn syrup, butter & sugar.  Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.  Once it starts to boil, let it boil for 4 minutes without stirring.  Remove from heat after 4 minutes and stir in sweetened condensed milk.  Reduce heat to low and return to a boil.  Boil for 10 minutes stirring constantly.  Pull off heat and stir in vanilla.  Pour into prepared pan.  Let cool.  Cut into pieces and wrap in wax paper.
