Though I am not a big sweets person, I have two nieces in college here at UT who would probably love some of these. I am going to give it a shot.

I love to pick out the carmels from the boxes of chocolate. Good thing they are easy to spot.

Let me know how you like these.

Thanks for sharing! I hate the dried out caramels from the store. I would love to make a soft fresh batch!

I haven't found any caramels that are better than these. Hope you enjoy them.
