I have made both of these recipes a long time ago and they are delicious.

Microwave Vanilla Caramels

1 cup butter, melted
2 cups sugar
2 cups Karo syrup
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 tsp. vanilla

Combine butter, sugar, syrup and half of the cream. cook on high 22 to 27 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes until firm ball stage. ( I test this in cold water). Add remaining cream and vanilla and cook on high 12 to 15 minutes more. Pour into a buttered cake pan. Cool and then cut into squares.

*Use a very large dish to cook this one in—about a 6 quart or can cut the recipe in half.
