Yummy Caramels!

Todd's sister gave this recipe to me and it's divine!  It is incredibly fast to make these little delights.

1 C butter
1 C brown sugar
1 C white sugar
1 C corn syrup
1 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
dash of salt

Butter a pan.  Mix first 4 ingredients in a pot.  Then add sweetened condensed milk and the dash of salt.  Bring to a boil.  Boil for approximately 10 min depending on what heat your on, stirring constantly.  Drop some caramel into a cup of cold water and see if it forms a soft ball, if so, you're done!  Pour into buttered pan and spread.  (This doesn't cover all of a cookie sheet unless spread really thin.  So just do 3/4 or less of the pan for thicker caramels.)  Let cool, cut into pieces, and wrap in wax paper.
