Too Yummy!!! These soft, chewy caramels melt in your mouth. My hubby isn't big on chocolate so I left some undipped and he loved them. I'll definetely make these again.

I am waiting for the caramel to cool at the moment, but as I began to stir with the condensed milk, I stirred up all these burned chunks at the bottom. Was my heat too high, or what did I do wrong? Please email me if you know how to avoid this.

I made these, but the caramel flatten out alot. Maybe I didn't cook it long enough. But even if it didn't keep it's shape everybody loved them. My boyfriend is not a chocolate fan either and left some undipped, he loved them too. I was amazed that I could make real caramel. Lovely!!
