These Homemade Salted Caramels are perfectly soft & chewy! They are my weakness & are extremely addictive!
.
If you’ve never made homemade caramel candy before you’ll be pleasantly surprised how easy it actually is!
Make sure you do the soft ball test in cold water to ensure proper setting up of your candy. I use a thermometer as well, but I always use both methods to make sure I get perfect caramels each & every time
I’ve made 8 batches so far this week now. They are sooooo good!
I wrapped them up in little gift boxes & gave them as Christmas gifts.
everyone who has got them loved them!
super easy to make, this recipe is a keeper for sure!
They are insanely addictive! if you’ve never made caramels before, I promise it’s not that difficult!
After i first made them my husband told me i NEEDED TO TAKE THEM OUT OF THE FRIDGE,
I THOUGHT HE NEEDED ME TO MAKE ROOM FOR SOMETHING HE WANTED TO PUT IN THERE, BUT NOPE, HE SAID BECAUSE HE JUST ATE FIVE PIECES AND HES NOT A SWEETS FAN! LOL!
Give the gift of homemade caramels to your loved ones this holiday season!
They’re melt in your mouth delicious & can sweeten any occasion!
