Caramel Pretzel Candy
2 cups sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 3/4 cup light Karo syrup
2 sticks butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups pretzels (I used the stick kind)
In a large pot, mix sugar, 1 cup of the cream, Karo syrup and butter.
Bring to a boil on medium-high heat.
When it reaches a rolling boil, add the remaining 1 cup of cream.
Reduce heat to medium and continue to boil until mixture reaches the firm-ball stage....about 235 degrees on a candy thermometer.
Remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla.
Stir in the pretzels.
Pour into a buttered 9x13 inch baking dish. Let caramel cool and set up. Cut into bite-sized squares and wrap in plastic wrap.
Let's get going!
Combine the sugar, butter, Karo
and 1 cup of the cream.
Bring to a boil.
Add the remaining cup of cream.
Bring to a boil....

This is the firm-ball stage.
