Oh, how wonderful these are! Chewy, milky caramels, my favorite candy in the world, and now, I know exactly how to make them, with fresh wholesome ingredients, and for less than buying a bag of them. I recommend using a candy thermometer, if at all possible, as it's cleaner and more precise than the drop in water method. Plus, you get to keep every drop of delicious caramel goodness. These are going to be a go to candy recipe in my kitchen. Thanks for sharing!
