Steps:
- Line 9-inch square baking pan with 2-inch high sides with heavy-duty aluminum foil, extending foil over sides of pan. Butter foil.
- Melt 1 cup of butter in heavy large saucepan over low heat. Add both sugars, corn syrup and sweetened condensed milk and stir until sugar dissolves. Scape seeds from vanilla into mixture; add bean. Attach clip-on candy thermometer to side of saucepan. Increase heat to medium and bring mixture to a boil. Cook mixture 8 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Using tongs, remove vanilla bean and discard. Continue cooking until candy thermometer registers 242°F, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes longer. Immediately remove from heat; stir in hazelnuts. Quickly pour caramel into prepared pan (do not scrape saucepan). Cool until firm, about 1 hour.
- Using buttered heavy large knife, score 8 lines lengthwise to depth of 1/4 inch in caramel, then score 8 lines crosswise. Using aluminum foil as aid, lift caramel out of pan. Using same buttered heavy large knife, cut caramel on scored lines into pieces. Wrap each piece of caramel in cellophane. (Can be prepared 2 weeks ahead. Store caramels in airtight containers.)

[email protected]I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these caramels turned out really grainy. They were still tasty, but they weren't very smooth.

[email protected]These caramels were a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time I'll reduce the amount of sugar by 1/4 cup.

[email protected]I didn't have any hazelnuts on hand, so I used chopped walnuts instead. They turned out great!

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly and the caramels turned out perfectly. They were a bit soft when they first came out of the pan, but they firmed up nicely after they cooled.
