Craving for something sweet? These salted goat milk caramels are easy to make and would definitely hit the spot.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups Goats milk
• 2 cups Brown sugar
• 1 cup White sugar
• 1 cup Corn syrup
• 1 ½ cups heavy cream
• 1.5 tablespoon Vanilla
• 1/2 tablespoon salt (fine grain)
• Coarse grain salt to finish
• 1 cup butter
• 1 Vanilla bean

Directions:

Prepare a pot on the stove, and a baking pan (12in x 15in works best) for pouring the caramel.
Combine the sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, goat milk, heavy cream, and butter in the pot on the stove. Mixing this mixture and heating it evenly is important to make the candy work. You will notice that the mixture goes from looking like a frothy delicious caramel sponge to a slightly darker, with less bubbles mixture (You can use this as a guide to know that the temperature is starting to get close)
Watch the temperature of the mixture with a candy thermometer while stirring. When the thermometer reaches 247 °F remove the pot from the heat. Add the vanilla and stir.
* Do not let the temperature exceed 250 °F (120 °C).This is ceiling for the “firm ball” stage when cooking sugar. If the candy goes over this temperature you could have problems with forming your caramels.
Pour the mixture from your pot into the lined or buttered baking pan
Let the mixture cool for about 5-7 minutes and then cut the caramel into 1 inch x 1 inch pieces. The caramel will still be warm to the touch and slightly gooey. Sprinkle pieces of coarse grain salt on the pieces and then roll them into balls and wrap in parchment to keep them from sticking together.
Unwrap and enjoy!
