Butter Caramels Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup nuts, finely chopped
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 cups half and half

Butter an 8-inch square pan. Spread the nuts in the bottom of the pan and set aside.

In a heavy saucepan, mix the sugar, corn syrup, butter, and 1 cup of the half and half.

Bring ingredients to a boil and stir constantly. Once boiling, add the rest of the half and half and stir.

Add a candy thermometer and cook over medium heat. Bring the mixture to the "firm ball" stage (244 - 248 degrees). Don't exceed this temperature.

Immediately spread the mixture over the nuts in the pan. Allow caramels to cool. Cut into 1 inch squares and wrap in candy wrappers if desired.
