Caramels

This is a really good caramel recipe. I just wrap them all in wax paper and wah-lah! Yummy caramels for all!

2 C. white sugar
1 1/2 C. corn syrup
2 C. heavy cream
1 C butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract

1. Butter a 9X13 dish
2. In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, 1 cup cream and butter. Bring to a boil, stirring often, then stir in remaining 1 cup cream. Heat, without stirring, to 242 degrees F (116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a firm but pliable ball. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and pour into prepared dish. Refrigerate.
3. When cool, return candies to room temperature then cut into 1 inch squares and wrap in waxed paper.
