Step-by-step
- Line 9-inch square pan with parchment or wax paper, allowing the paper to drape over two sides; spray lightly with cooking spray.
- In 1-quart saucepan, heat butter, heavy whipping cream, whiskey, vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to boiling, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; set aside.
- In 3-quart saucepan, mix sugar, corn syrup, and water. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat. DO NOT STIR. Boil until sugar turns a warm golden brown.
- When the sugar mixture is done, turn off the heat and slowly add the cream mixture to the sugar mixture. Be careful -- it will bubble up violently. Cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, until the mixture reaches 248 degrees F (firm ball) on a candy thermometer. Pour caramel into pan; cool 10 minutes. Sprinkle with up to 1 tablespoon salt; cool completely.
- Cut into squares; wrap individually in parchment paper.
I recently discovered these Salted Whiskey Caramels, and they have quickly become one of my favorite treats. They're the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and boozy, and they're so easy to make.
I love serving these caramels at parties, but they're also a great treat to have on hand for when I'm craving something sweet. They're also a great gift idea, especially for people who love whiskey or caramel.
