Christmas Caramels Recipe

This is my FAVORITE Christmas treat!  I found the recipe on allrecipes.com  I've modified it a bit so this is the altered recipe.

Caramel Candies
2 Cups Brown Sugar
2 1/2 Cups White Sugar
1 1/2 Cups Butter
1 1/2 Cups Corn Syrup
2 Cups Heavy Cream
1 Cup + 2 Tbsp Milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Combine ingredients in a large saucepan (atleast 5 qts) over medium high heat.  Heat to 240 degrees (soft ball stage).  Pour into a greased 9 X 13 pan.  Let cool for 9-12 hours before cutting.  I like to cut it into bite size pieces and wrap in wax paper like tootsie rolls.

I wanted to post a picture but they are gone so maybe next time.  Trust me, they're good.
