Directions:
Grease a small cookie sheet or a 9X13 cake pan and set aside. Melt butter in a sauce pan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and salt. Mix well. Stir in corn syrup. Gradually add sweetened condensed milk, stirring constantly. Cook until candy mixture reaches firm-ball stage (~245ºF) approx. 12-15 minutes. Test by dropping hot liquid into a cup of ice. Candy should instantly harden to chewy caramel consistency. If not, continue cooking and testing until desired consistency is achieved. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour caramel into pan. Allow to cool before cutting and wrapping in waxed paper squares.
