Ingredients

2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 to 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Begin by preparing the caramel. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook the caramel, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes or until it reaches a deep amber color. Remove the caramel from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract. Pour the caramel into a greased 9-inch square baking pan and let cool completely.

Once the caramel has cooled completely, cut it into 1-inch pieces. Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Dip each caramel piece into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help coat it evenly. Place the dipped caramels onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let cool until the chocolate has hardened. Enjoy!
