Directions:
Spray 11 x 9 pan with Pam. In a medium saucepan melt the butter. Then add the brown sugar and salt and stir. Next add the corn syrup and stir. Then add the condensed milk and stir. Put the candy thermometer in the saucepan and stir continuously until the thermometer reaches 255-257º. Use medium heat only. This should take about 20-25 minutes. After the temperature has been reached, remove from heat and add the vanilla. Pour into greased pan and cool. When completely cool, cut into 1" pieces. This makes about 60 pieces of candy. This recipe cannot be doubled. If making more than 1 pan you must do it twice.

Personal Notes:
The caramel can be used to make turtles. On waxed paper place 2 walnuts, press a piece of caramel on the nuts and pour melted chocolate over the caramel. I use chocolate blocks and melt the chocolate in the microwave. Can be given to friends and family at Christmas.
