I wanted to make a coconut milk-based caramel with a distinct coconut flavor. I searched for a recipe and found an interesting vegan one: http://dicedtomato.blogspot.com/2010/01/updated-coconut-milk-caramels.html. I wanted to use butter, though (since I had purchased 4 lbs of unsalted butter from Costco for my caramel making extravaganza). I also wanted to use less corn syrup and increase the coconut factor. I decided to top the caramels with lightly toasted unsweetened flaked coconut, and add some vanilla and coconut extract as well.
