Grandma (Doris) Jones' Chocolates


This is the recipe Grandpa Jones made every year for Christmas. 
It's a family classic, so I'm giving it a 5 star rating

Take a cookie sheet and put 15 or 16 Hershey's chocolate bars in the bottom of a tinfoil greased with butter only. Put in the oven on warm until melted. Take a knife and spread it around evenly. Take out of oven. (Great Grandpa has also used good quality milk chocolate made for melting.)

In a big pan, bring to a boil:
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups of white Karo Syrup
1/2 lb. of butter

After it boils, add
1 more cup of heavy cream
dash salt. 

Boil 1/2 way between soft and hard stage. Takes about 1 hour to make the caramel. Add nuts. The Joneses traditionally used Brazil nuts, but you can use whatever you like.
When it is finished, pour the caramel over the chocolate that has been melted in the pan.
Put 15-16 more Hershey's chocolate on top of caramel and return to oven to melt.
