Day 9 of Christmas in July! 🎄🍬

Day 9 of Christmas in July! 🎄🍬 These Chewy Salted Vanilla Bean Caramels are buttery, perfectly chewy, finished with flaky sea salt, and make the sweetest little homemade holiday gifts… if you can keep yourself from eating them all first 🤤 ✨ Recipe: Ingredients * 1 cup unsalted butter * 2¼ cups brown sugar * 1 cup light corn syrup * 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk * 1 cup heavy cream * 1 tsp fine sea salt * 2 tsp vanilla bean paste * Flaky sea salt, for topping Instructions 1. Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. 2. In a large pot, combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and fine sea salt. 3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 12-15 minutes, or until the mixture reaches 240°F on a candy thermometer. 4. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla bean paste or extract. 5. Pour into the prepared pan and smooth the top. 6. Let cool for 3–4 hours at room temperature (or about 2 hours in the refrigerator) 7. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, then cut into about 80 one-inch squares. For clean cuts, run a sharp knife through a little butter before slicing. 8. Wrap individually if gifting or store in an airtight container. Storage: Keep on the counter for up to 2 weeks or refrigerate for 3–4 weeks (I prefer storing them on the counter so they stay nice and soft and chewy) 🎄 Follow along for more Christmas in July recipes! #recipes #recipesoftiktok #christmasinjuly #cookwithme #fyp
