I made these and used a candy thermometer. I found they were kinda hard when trying to eat them. Next time I will omit the thermometer and try for the water method. I had no issue with them being wrapped in wax paper.

This receipe was great, however, it neglects to say butter the waxed paper before wrapping the caramels. I just spent 2 hours removing the paper and rewrapping 64 caramels. My husband thought I wasted my time. He just ate the caramel and spit out the waxed paper at the end.

I absolutely love this recipe. Everyone in my family does too. I experimented with this recipe by dipping each caramel in melted semi-sweet chocolate chips and my family went crazy over them. My family will not let me come to Christmas without them.
