Scale
- 1 batch of 5-Minute Hard Caramel
- 1 ½ cups light brown sugar (packed)

Instructions
- Prepare your hard caramel by following your preferred quick method.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
