In a medium size pot, combine everything except the vanilla.
Monitor the heat of the mixture with a candy thermometer while stirring occasionally.
When the thermometer reaches 245 degrees F, remove pot from heat.
Stir in vanilla.
Transfer mixture to a 9x13 pan lined with parchment paper. Let the caramel cool completely.
When cooled, cut the caramel into small squares and wrap them in wax paper for storage. Enjoy!
