Soft Caramel Candies

Happy Sunday! Caramel is always a tricky one, so I was overjoyed when these came out perfect. I'm sure everyone will be discussing temperatures, so for the record both times I took the caramel to 240F and I am very pleased with the results. Buttery and caramely, but not too cloyingly sweet...all the reasons I love these. They are soft and chewy but hard enough to hold their shape. Hope you all had luck with yours, they are delicious and perfect for gifting!

Have a great week everyone - keep it sweet! :)

    1. Hi Sheri! I chilled the block for awhile before cutting them, I think that helped a little so they weren't as soft. And I greased the knife after every cut, super annoying but made for clean cuts. :o
