16 oz. pkg. (2&1/4c.) brown sugar
1c. light corn syrup
14 oz. can (1&1/4c.) sweetened condensed milk
1t. vanilla
Dash salt
Butter a 9x9x2-inch pan and set aside. In a heavy 3 qt. saucepan, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and salt. Stir thoroughly. Stir in the corn syrup. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, stirring constantly. Cook over med. heat, stirring occasionally, to 245℉ (firm ball stage) for 15-20 min.

Wrap in clear plastic wrap. The caramels can be made harder or softer by adjusting the cooing time a little.
