Microwave Salted Caramels

I LOVE salted caramel. Love. Love Love. My favorite kind are the Béquet salted caramels from Montana {one of my first posts ever}, but sometimes when I am having a craving they aren't the easiest sweets to find last minute. I googled salted caramel recipes and discovered this recipe from Food.com. I was skeptical at first since it was a microwave recipe but after reading the reviews I decided to give it a whirl. 

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup light Karo syrup

1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

1. Combine all of the ingredients and mix well

2. Microwave for 6 minutes, stopping to stir every 2 minutes

3. Pour into a greased pan. DO NOT use parchment paper. I made this mistake the first time making these caramels and I had to throw out the whole batch since it sticks to the caramel. Just use butter or non stick spray. Sprinkle with sea salt and put in the fridge to cool.

Once the caramels are cool you can slice them into squares using a sharp knife. If they are still warm you will end up with a sticky mess. 

YUM

How easy are those to make? No baking, no candy thermometer and no funky ingredients. Perfect for a quick way to satisfy your sweet tooth. Might be something different to bring to a superbowl party this Sunday!
