Cream Caramels (Sweets)

This Cream Caramels recipe is from the 1934 Home Comfort Cookbook, page 128, in the Candy and Candy Making section.

Put sugar and milk into a saucepan and set to back of range-top until sugar is well dissolved; add syrup, place over fire and let come to a boil; continue boiling slowly until syrup forms a firm ball when tested in cold water; add butter and vanilla, mixing well.

Pour into a large shallow square cake tin, well buttered, and set to cool; just before entirely cold, transfer from pan to a well-buttered paper sheet cut into small squares with a sharp knife point dipped in hot water; caramels may be wrapped in buttered tissue paper if desired.
