\"Homemade<\/p>\n

When it comes to caramel, homemade is the way to go. Store-bought caramel sauces and candies are super sweet with very little caramel flavor, and they often contain unnecessary ingredients to keep the candies shelf-stable. <\/p>\n

The caramel candy recipe I’m sharing with you today requires just seven basic ingredients, including two types of sugar (for sweetness and <\/em>flavor!), high-quality Danish Creamery Butter, vanilla extract, and sweetened condensed milk. <\/p>\n

Making homemade caramels isn’t difficult, but you do need to be precise when measuring the ingredients and taking the temperature of the caramel mixture. (I’ll walk you through the caramel making process step-by-step in this post, so you have nothing to worry about!) <\/p>\n

Make a batch of homemade caramel candies to gift at the holidays. Your friends and family will love them!<\/p>\n
