Fireball Whiskey Caramels

Ingredients

• 16 ounces brown sugar (1-pound box or 2¼ packed cups)
• 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup corn syrup
• 1 cup butter
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ⅓ cup Fireball whiskey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Method

1. Line a 9x9-inch dish with parchment paper and set it aside.
2. In a 3-quart saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, sweetened condensed milk, whiskey, and salt.
3. Bring the mixture to a boil, cooking until a candy thermometer reaches 246°F (firm ball stage). Avoid stirring, but watch the temperature closely as it will darken during cooking. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
4. Once it's ready, take the saucepan off the heat and add vanilla. Stir until smooth and bubbling stops (around 1 minute).
5. Pour the caramel into your prepared dish, letting it cool for 2 to 4 hours until firm.
6. Use a buttered knife to cut the caramel into 1-inch squares, wrap each piece in wax paper, and store at room temperature. Enjoy!
