Amish Caramel Candy Recipe

The handmade candies prepared by the Amish are renowned. I am usually searching for bakeries when I visit Amish areas. It goes without saying. But for me, seeing a small, handcrafted sign directing people to a sweets store is the "Holy Grail" of discovering something in an Amish community. https://theinfocart.com/

Step 1

Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add the sugar, corn syrup, butter, and ¼ cup of cream. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously.

Step 3

While continuing to stir, add the remaining cream. Insert a candy thermometer and while constantly stirring, bring to the soft ball stage. Around 240°F, the sugar syrup will turn transparent and boil rapidly.

Step 4

When it hits 240°F remove caramel from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour into the prepared baking pan.

Step 5

While still warm, use a toothpick to pop any air bubbles that rise to the top. Allow to cool overnight.

Step 6

Use a thin knife or small offset spatula to loosen the caramel block from the pan. Transfer the block to a cutting board and cut into desired size and shape. Wrap individually in wax paper if desired.
