caramels for the holidays

 4 c sugar

1 1/2 pints Karo (3 c)

2 c cream

1 c butter

Mix all ingredients in a heavy saucepan.  Cook on medium heat to 244 degrees on a candy thermometer.  On a big buttered cookie sheet, pour the caramel mixture.  Let cool and cut into bite-size pieces with kitchen shears.  Wrap in wax paper.  Store in airtight container.  (Allow for 2 plus hours to cook)

Make it a party and invite a couple extra pair of hands....when the caramels get to the right temp, you have to wrap quickly or it's challenging!  All of my kids would help me!
