Caramel Apple Hill Orchards, CA
1 cube butter
1 lb. brown sugar
Pinch of salt
1 cup light corn syrup
1 can condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla
Melt butter, add sugar, salt and stir thoroughly. Add corn syrup mix well and gradually add condensed milk, stirring constantly. Cook and stir over medium heat to firm ball stage, 12-15 min. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. (Firm ball stage is 242-248)
The Ivy Rice Krispy Treats
1 ½ sticks butter divided
10 cups mini marshmallows, divided
10 cups rice krispies, divided
Melt 6 TBS. butter with 4 cups marshmallows for 70 seconds in microwave, Stir well and then add 5 cups cereal. Spread in a 9x13 glass dish. Pour half the caramel mixture over rice krispies (save the other half for the next batch). Sprinkle 2 cups mini marshmallows on top of caramel, (you can refrigerate to set up). Repeat second layer of rice krispies mixture, using the rest of the butter, marshmallows and cereal. Chill until firm but serve at room temp.
Variation: I make a huge batch of rice krispy treats to fit my biggest pan, I use the whole caramel recipe and usually a whole bag of mini marshmallows sprinkled in between the 2 layers. These are a huge hit and you will be famous for these.
