Caramel and Cookies on a String

by Holly

Caramel

2 cups sugar
2 cups corn syrup

Cook until yellow

3 cups whipping cream
½ can Borden’s Eagle Brand milk

scald (can microwave)

Slowly laddle milk mixture into sugar mixture. Must boil all the time and stir constantly.
Cook on medium Heat to 235 degrees

Add dash of salt and 1 Tbsp. vanilla

Pour into a well buttered 9x13 or a little smaller pan depending on the thickness you want in the carmel.

(I use a glass pan)

Before cutting take entire pan of carmel out of pan. Score and cut with pizza cutter.
