How To Make chewy eggnog caramels

  • Step 1
    In a saucepan over medium heat mix eggnog and sugars.
  • Step 2
    Stir continuously until liquid begins to boil. Once boiling, stop stirring and attach your candy thermometer.
  • Step 3
    While the caramel is cooking, line an 8x8 inch pan with foil and butter the foil (don't skimp on the butter).
  • Step 4
    Once the caramel reaches 245 degrees remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
  • Step 5
    Pour into the buttered pan and let cool in the fridge for 5-6 hours or overnight.
  • Step 6
    To cut, remove the entire caramel break using the foil.
  • Step 7
    Flip upside down on a flat cutting board and peel off the foil.
  • Step 8
    Cut caramels into desired shape and size using a very sharp buttered knife.
  • Step 9
    Wrap your candies with wax paper and store in the refrigerator. Eat within a week or so, not that they last even that long around my house.
