I have made several batches of the Caramels, 1st batch did not turn out right, because I cooked them to 245, It was hard and reminded me of Toffee. I went by the recepe step by step, I also decided to be a little creative,I added a heaping TBSP of Peanut Butter to my ingredients. As soon as the Thermometer read Soft Ball, I take it off the stove and put it into my 9x9 pan that I coat with Pam Butter Spray. These Caramels came out Perfect everytime I made Them, I stirred the Caramels the whole time I was cooking them. The PB really kicked the flavour up a notch! I suggest not to cook the Caramels to 245. Thank-You for the Awesome Recipe !

I have made these numerous times and they are always a hit. Make sure to use HEAVY CREAM and not whipping cream - whipping cream will make them hard. Also, when I make them, I line a 1/2 cookie sheet with non-stick foil (no butter). When completely cooled I lift them out and cut them into pieces using a pizza cutter. I have never had a problem with them sticking to the wax paper. Only problem was ONE time I used whipping cream and they turned hard as rocks...I'll never make that mistake again.

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.

This recipe was so good!I really liked that once the caramels were cut, they did not stick to the wax paper, they were perfect and I''ve had lots of requests to make more. I will always use this recipe.

I have made these before with the recepie from the 70''s version of the Betyy Crocker cookbook. They are WONDERFUL!! The heating of the caramels is a little tricky, but it is easier if you have a double boiler! I put these in holiday gift plates and always have requests fo rthe recepie! :-)
