Cream Caramels

Recipe is from Uncle Marvin.

2 cups sugar
¾ cup light corn syrup
½ cup butter
2 cups cream (divided)

Bring slowly to a boil, stirring constantly: 2 cups sugar, ¾ cup light corn syrup, ½ cup butter, 1 cup cream. Then gradually stir in 1 cup more cream. Marvin often used 1 can of milk when he didn’t have cream. Stir constantly to 254 degrees. A little caramel dropped into cold water forms a hard ball. Pour into buttered 7-inch pan. Add nuts if desired.
