1 can(s) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 lb (2 cups)** butter

1. Combine corn syrup, brown sugar, milk and butter in a saucepan.

4. Pour into buttered oblong pan.

*Deb's note......cooking this for 20 as mommy's world states make them very hard.....they taste just like Werther's Originals...for a soft caramel (like I wanted) I recommend using a candy thermometer and getting to the soft ball stage..around 230 degrees

**Stacie says: The last ingredient calls for '1/2 lb (2 cups) butter'. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but these two measurements cannot co-exist.

1/2 pound of butter = 1 cup of butter = 2 sticks of butter.

I have never tried this recipe, (and I tried finding it online, but wasn't successful) so I'm not sure which measurement to use for the butter. If you try this one way or the other, please let me know how it turned out, and which measurement you used. :)
