Instructions:
👨🍳 1) Butter a 9x13-inch pan generously to coat. Set aside.
👨🍳 2) In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
👨🍳 3) Once melted, pour in the sweetened condensed milk, corn syrup, and brown sugar.
👨🍳 4) Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat using a rubber spatula until it starts to simmer, making sure to scrape the sides and bottom regularly.
👨🍳 5) Once the mixture is simmering, continue to simmer at a constant temperature, stirring constantly until the caramel reaches the softball stage, which is between 235°F and 245°F on a candy thermometer. Adjust the temperature based on your elevation (higher elevations use the lower temperature range, and lower elevations use the upper end).
👨🍳 6) Once the caramel reaches the softball stage, immediately remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
👨🍳 7) Pour the caramel into the prepared 9x13-inch pan and spread it out evenly.
👨🍳 8) Allow the caramel to cool completely before cutting it into squares.
👨🍳 9) Optionally, wrap individual caramel pieces in wax paper for convenient serving.
