Raspberry Caramels

Deliciously soft raspberry caramels are buttery and sweet. They make a wonderful gift for friends!

Wow, those caramels sure are bright! I know. I accidentally dropped the bottle of food coloring in the pot. They taste great though.

As I have learned, handling caramel can be a sticky affair. I lightly sprayed my hands with non stick spray before rolling into little logs, as well as chilling the caramel when it became too warm while sitting out at room temperature. I tried out the plain recipe as well, and let me tell you, it was amazing!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 pint heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon raspberry extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Grease a 12″ x 15″ inch pan.
  • In a medium-size pot, combine sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, evaporated milk, whipping cream, and butter. Monitor the heat of the mixture with a candy thermometer while stirring. When the thermometer reaches 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) remove the pot from the heat.
  • Stir in vanilla. Transfer mixture to the prepared pan and let the mixture cool completely. When cooled cut the caramel into small squares or logs and wrap them in wax paper for storage.

Notes

For regular caramels, omit raspberry extract and use 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract. For orange flavored caramels, substitute 1 teaspoon orange extract for the raspberry extract.

  1. Oh, goodness. This is a lovely little treat. I much prefer homemade candies, not just for their taste, but for the level of CUTENESS they provide. These would be great for a special occasion.

  2. How fun, I recently stumbled upon a recipe that was similar, to make the chocolate, the maple, and lime tootsie rolls. These look gorgeous!

  3. I went through a caramels phase where I was making batch after batch and losing sleep over them. This fun variation is enough to probably push me over the edge and start going caramels crazy again! 🙂
