Directions:
- Butter an 8×8 baking dish, or line it with parchment paper (this is my favorite method!)
- Melt the butter in a large glass bowl in the microwave. Add all other ingredients (except vanilla) and stir to combine. (Determine if you want to add sea salt as a garnish; if not, add 1/4 teaspoon of table salt to the mixture.)
- Return to microwave for 6 minutes 30 seconds. All microwaves are different, but this time it worked perfectly for me. Carefully remove (using heating pads) the mixing bowl. Add the vanilla.
- Carefully pour the caramel into the prepared baking dish. Let sit for a bit, then sprinkle with sea salt if you didn’t add salt to the mixture. Let it cool completely before slicing it. I always put the mold in the fridge and cut the caramel when it is cold. Help a lot! If the caramel is set but at room temperature, you can spray your pizza cutter with Pam spray and slice easily that way too!
- The caramel does not need to be refrigerated. I like to cut them up and wrap them in wax paper (see the post for my favorite holiday wax).
Enjoy !
