6-MINUTE CARAMEL

Instructions:

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine all the ingredients: 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar, a small can of sweetened condensed milk, and 1/2 cup of light corn syrup.
2. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat it for a total of 6 minutes. Be sure to pause every 2 minutes to give the mixture a good stir. This will help achieve a smooth consistency and prevent any hot spots.
3. While the mixture is heating and stirring, prepare a greased pan for your butterscotch creation. You can select a square or rectangular pan based on your desired thickness.
4. Once the 6 minutes are up, carefully remove the bowl from the microwave. The butterscotch should be hot and bubbling, so handle it with care as it will be extremely hot.
5. Pour the hot butterscotch mixture into the greased pan, ensuring it’s evenly spread out.
6. Allow the butterscotch to cool at room temperature. It will gradually solidify as it cools.
7. Once the butterscotch has cooled and set, you can cut it into bite-sized pieces. Use a sharp knife or kitchen shears for this task.
8. For a delightful finishing touch, wrap each butterscotch piece in wax paper. This not only adds an elegant touch but also prevents them from sticking together.
9. Store your scrumptious homemade butterscotch delights in an airtight container to keep them fresh. Enjoy!
