Answer 1

Here's a recipe that is delicious and easy and you can't mess up! Enjoy....
Note: it will take some time to bring it up to 250 degrees. Be patient and you will be rewarded. Oh--and use a large pot.

Caramels

2 cups white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1 cup evaporated milk
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1 cup butter
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
Grease a 12x15 inch pan.
In a medium-size pot, combine sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, evaporated milk, whipping cream, and butter. Monitor the heat of the mixture with a candy thermometer while stirring. When the thermometer reaches 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) remove the pot from the heat.
Stir in vanilla. Transfer mixture to the prepared pan and let the mixture cool completely. When cooled cut the Carmel into small squares and wrap them in wax paper for storage.

Answer 2

Honey Caramels

2 cups honey
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup chopped nuts
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt

Butter an 8 x 8 x 2-inch pan; set aside.
Mix honey and evaporated milk in a heavy saucepan; cook over medium heat to the firm-ball stage (see note).
Remove from heat and stir in nuts, butter, vanilla and salt. Pour into prepared pan. Let cool before cutting into squares.
Makes 16 pieces.

Note: 'Firm-ball' describes the point at which a drop of boiling syrup immersed in cold water, when removed, forms a firm ball that can be flattened a little. On a candy thermometer, the firm-ball stage is between 242° and 248°F.
