Ingredients
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 8 0z bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan with cooking spray, line with parchment paper, and then lightly spray again with the cooking spray, set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan bring cream to simmer over medium heat.
  3. Add chocolate and stir until melted. Once melted, stir in sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a boil, still over medium heat, and continue to boil until a candy thermometer reaches 250 degrees (the Hard-Ball stage). This will take anywhere from 30-45 minutes.
  4. Then, remove from heat and stir in butter and salt.
  5. Pour caramel mixture into prepared pan without scraping the saucepan and let stand uncovered for 8 hours or until completely set.
  6. Lift caramel out of pan via parchment paper and cut into squares with a sharp knife. Wrap pieces in waxed paper and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
