Thank you thank you thank you for posting this caramel recipe. My husband and I have tried and failed miserably several times to make caramel. It was to the point that we’d just given up. I read Jaques’ recipe after you posted the link and knew immediately it was a winner. Much to our delight last night, we made a perfect batch of soft caramels that he was so excited to take to work and share with friends. (we had to give 3/4 of them away–or I would have eaten them)

I made the caramels last night and did the salt/chocolate this morning... and oh my gosh, so delicious! The warning to try not to eat them all by yourself is definitely a valid one. Thanks so much for sharing! Dee Wilcox´s last blog post..Distractions

I once made a mistake cooking fudge, and ended up with the most *amazing* chocolate caramels. If only I could figure out what went wrong, so I could make more… but then I’d probably double in size from caramel consumption. Mixed blessing, I guess.

My favorite candy, by far, are carmels. There's just nothing better than a melt-in-your-mouth carmel. Jacques Pépin's recipe sounds great, so I guess I'll give it try. Geri´s last blog post..Alternative Facelift: The Yoga Facelift

Yum! I’ve a current mini-obsession about candy making… Must try this.

My favorite holiday treat-just one?? Well I’ll have to say it’s the family traditional treat. It doesn’t even have a name. You take a creme drop (found here: http://www.figis.com/gifts/offer.asp?offerID=113225&categoryID=1087&subcat=1090 ) and smoosh it, place it on a soda cracker, top with a slice of cheese like cheddar and top with another soda cracker. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it…. The family story goes that my great great grandmother ran an old fashioned general store and sometimes couldn’t take time for lunch. So she’d cut cheese off the wheel in the store and grab some creme drops and crackers from the barrels and make herself a little “sammich”.

I gave up cooking stuff for Christmas - we eat too much, however I will make the caramels! My favorite was an old, old recipe for "Cherry Mash" candies. It required cans of cherry frosting, which they no longer make, so now that recipe is only a fond memory for us. chris´s last blog post..Pugs
