1. Step 1

   Start by greasing a 12x15-inch pan and setting it aside, creating a perfect base for your delicious caramel.

2. Step 2

   Next, grab a medium-sized pot and attach a candy thermometer to it—this handy tool will help you achieve that perfect caramel consistency.

3. Step 3

   In the pot, combine heavy whipping cream, white sugar, brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and evaporated milk.

4. Step 4

   Stir this delightful mixture over medium heat, keeping a close eye on it as you mix.

5. Step 5

   You’ll want to keep stirring until the temperature reaches 250°F (120°C), which is the sweet spot for achieving that rich, chewy texture.

6. Step 6

   Once you hit that magical temperature, carefully remove the pot from the heat and stir in some vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.

7. Step 7

   Now, pour the luscious caramel into your prepared pan and let it cool completely—this is the hardest part, but trust me, it’s worth the wait! Once it’s cooled and set, cut the caramel into 60 small squares, perfect for sharing or indulging.
