Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup sugar-free sweetener blend with erythritol and stevia
• 1 cup sugar-free corn syrup substitute (such as a blend of fiber syrup)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal, and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, unsalted butter, sugar-free sweetener, and sugar-free corn syrup substitute.

Step 3

Stir constantly with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the butter melts and the mixture begins to simmer.

Step 4

Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan, ensuring it does not touch the bottom of the pan. Continue to cook, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 248°F (120°C), also known as firm ball stage.

Step 5

Once the mixture reaches desired temperature, immediately remove from heat and carefully stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 6

Pour the caramel mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to the edges with a spatula.

Step 7

Allow the caramels to cool completely at room temperature for about 2 hours or in the refrigerator for about 1 hour until firm.

Step 8

Once set, use the parchment overhang to lift the caramel block from the pan. Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to cut into small squares or desired shapes.

Step 9

Wrap individual caramels in pieces of wax paper or parchment paper to prevent sticking and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
