Christmas Caramels
"A rich, creamy and incredibly soft caramel. They take a little effort but are so worth it. After mine have set, I cut them into small pieces and wrap individually in waxed paper. I then put them far away so I can't get into them !"

These are the best carmels ever!!!! Rich, creamy to die for. Can't wait until the next batch is finished. -
My dad says they are too soft but the flavor is UH-MAZE-IN!!! They made a ton and it has takin me 3 days to wrap them all! I wrapped them in plastic wrap so they would look like the kind in the stores but next time I may try the wax paper unless I can find already cut candy wrappers somewhere! Everyone says they are like the kinds you get in gourmet candy shops for a few dollars each. I guess I could go into business!! =D
