Aimee's Caramels

My good friend from work brings these yummy caramels every year at Christmas time. Since I no longer work there, I'll have to make my own! They are so delicious!

Caramels

1/2 lb. butter (not margarine)
1 1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 cups sugar
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla

Put all ingredients except vanilla in a large pan. Stir well on low heat until it's all dissolved. Bring to a boil. Stir constantly. Cook until firm ball stage about 245 degrees (Check your thermometer and calibrate it first). Take off heat and stir in vanilla. Pour in greased 9x13 in. pan. Let cool and cut into 1 x 1" squares. Wrap caramels in wax paper and twist the ends. Enjoy!
