Easy Sea Salt Caramels Recipe

These homemade sea salt caramels are made with sugar, butter, cream, and a sprinkle of sea salt for a gourmet touch. The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and yields approximately 24 caramels.

Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus more for sprinkling
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and butter over medium heat. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Cook the Caramel: Add the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature, cooking until it reaches 240°F (soft ball stage).
Add Flavor: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt until well combined.
Pour into Pan: Carefully pour the hot caramel into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Allow it to cool at room temperature for about 2 hours.
Cut and Serve: Once cooled, lift the caramels out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into small squares and sprinkle with additional sea salt before serving.
