Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To ensure the correct consistency of the caramels, be sure to reach the correct temperatures. If not, the caramel might not set up correctly.
  • tip 2
    Feel free to experiment with different citrus and herbs. Orange and basil would be delicious.
