microwave caramels.

if i had known sooner how easy these are to make, i would be a much plumper individual. i'm going to have to limit myself to how often i can use this recipe... :)

ingredients:

1/2 cup melted butter

1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup light corn syrup

1/2 cup pecans, optional

directions:

spray 8x8 pan with Pam. combine all ingredients in a large glass bowl. stir well. cook, uncovered, in microwave on high for 7 minutes. allow to cool for 5 minutes. stir again. pour into pan. cool completely in refrigerator. cut into squares and wrap in waxed paper. {to make as a dip for apples, reduce cooking time by one minute.}

and then immediately share them before you eat them all by yourself.

note:

i burned my first batch. in my microwave i only needed to cook it for 5 minutes.
