One good way to beat the winter doldrums is to keep warm 
by a hot stove while cooking up something wonderful. 
We always enjoy sweet things, for lots of reasons - comfort, 
energy and most of 'em, if you make 'em right, just plain 
taste good.
Today we offer a recipe that's easy to throw together but 
keeps you near the stove, warm and cozy, for a just long
enough to get you good and toasty. The result is rewarding. 
If you make these caramels once, you'll never go back to 
store-bought again.

2 ¼ cups packed brown sugar
2 cups light corn syrup
½ cup whipping cream 
6 TBSP. butter 
2 TBSP whipping cream 
½ teaspoon vanilla

Butter a large pan (10 x 15, 9 x 13)
Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, and 
½ cup whipping cream in a large saucepan.
Stir constantly over medium-high heat to 
boiling. Clip candy thermometer to side of pan. 

Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, 
until candy thermometer registers 250° F. 
Remove thermometer and pan from stove.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Cool thoroughly.
