Nut Caramels Recipe
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chopped unblanched almonds, pecans, or walnuts
In a medium heavy saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk and corn syrup.
Bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil 15 to 20 minutes, stirring constantly. Syrup will be thick and caramel colored.
Add salt and chopped nuts.
Pour syrup into a buttered 8-inch square pan.
Cool at room temperature until firm enough to cut into squares.
Shape these squares into balls. Place in small candy paper cups. Decorate with whole pecans, whole blanched almonds, or chocolate sprinkles.
