Microwave Safe Bowl
9x13" Baking Pan
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
Combine all ingredients in a microwaveable safe bowl until smooth.
Cook for 6 minutes in your microwave, removing and stirring every two minutes.
When caramel is done cooking, pour into a 9x13-inch baking pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
Let cool completely.
Cut into pieces and roll up in wax paper.
- When making the caramels, it’s important to take them out of the microwave every 1-2 minutes. If you let the mixture cook for the full 6, the caramel will be burned in some areas, and not others.
