I'm still on Day 6. Sunday. My last little confection for today is Butter Rum Caramels.

Lookin' pretty good.

Bring brown sugar, cream, butter, salt, and rum to a boil in a heavy saucepan, stirring until butter is melted, then boil over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until thermometer registers 248 degrees. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour into baking pan and cool completely. Cut into squares.

Combine butter, sugar, and rum.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. The good vanilla, mind you.
