½ cup salted butter (one stick, 8 tablespoons) (melted in a large glass or microwave-safe bowl )

½ cup light corn syrup

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup light brown sugar

½ cup sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon table salt (Use this in the mix if you do not want to add sea salt as a garnish on your caramels)

sea salt garnish (optional -- if you would like to add sea salt garnish to your caramels, omit the ¼ teaspoon salt from the step above)

1. Butter an 8x8 baking dish, or line with parchment.

2. Melt butter in a large glass bowl in microwave.

3. Add all other ingredients, EXCEPT VANILLA, and stir until combined. (If you want to add sea salt as a garnish, omit ¼ teaspoon table salt to the mix).

4. Return to microwave for 6 minutes 30 seconds.* Carefully remove bowl stir. Add vanilla.

5. Carefully pour caramel into prepared baking dish. (If using sea salt garnish, allow to set on top slightly, then sprinkle with sea salt.)

6. Refrigerate and allow to fully cool. Slice with pizza cutter or knife treated with nonstick spray. Wrap in wax paper.

For some microwaves, 6 minutes is perfect, but you can know by doing an ice water test: Add some ice cubes to a glass of cold water. Drop a small spoonful of caramel into the ice water and test the consistency. If it is too soft, allow it to cook 30 seconds longer.
